CLUMP OF GRASS, by WINIFRED WELLES First Line: That's a merciless name to call Last Line: Than to be called a clump of grass. Alternate Author Name(s): Shearer, Harold H., Mrs. Subject(s): Grass | ||||||||
That's a merciless name to call Ten grasses standing by themselves, With flowers so ethereal They would not make a grove for elves, Becomes a vase, veined with their glass -- With stems between whose slightness air A scythe were less for them to bear Than to be called a clump of grass. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PORTRAIT OF MY ROOF by JAMES GALVIN HIGH PLAINS RAG by JAMES GALVIN I FIX MY EYES ON A BLADE OF GRASS by DAVID IGNATOW METAPHOR OF GRASS IN CALIFORNIA by CHARLES MARTIN THE LAST DAY OF AUGUST by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CUT THE GRASS by ARCHIE RANDOLPH AMMONS THE VOICE OF THE GRASS by SARAH ROBERTS BOYLE |
