A TYPICAL FLORIDIAN, by CHARLES JOSEPH RIDER First Line: Along the gulf or tampa bay Last Line: A typical floridian! Subject(s): Florida | ||||||||
Along the Gulf or Tampa Bay You see him fishing any day, The Isaac Walton Pelican -- A typical Floridian! At times he rests upon a post, With solemn face and mind engrossed With problems of the fisherman -- A typical Floridian! His mind is just on fishing bent, Untalkative, but sapient, The hero of the fisher clan -- A typical Floridian! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FLORIDA FRIDAY by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN A FLORIDA GHOST by SIDNEY LANIER A FLORIDA SUNDAY by SIDNEY LANIER O FLORIDA, VENEREAL SOIL by WALLACE STEVENS CANCIONERO DEL BANYAN by VIRGIL SUAREZ SUBTROPICAL NIGHT by JOHN UPDIKE THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH: A DREAM OF PONCE DE LEON by HEZEKIAH BUTTERWORTH FABLIAU OF FLORIDA by WALLACE STEVENS FAREWELL TO FLORIDA by WALLACE STEVENS ADAPTED NURSERY RHYMES: FIDDLE-DE-DEE by CHARLES JOSEPH RIDER ADAPTED NURSERY RHYMES: LITTLE MISS MUFFET by CHARLES JOSEPH RIDER |
