CRISS-CROSS PATTERN, by ETHEL BRODT WILSON First Line: The birds stitch / back and forth Last Line: Upon the mountain. Subject(s): Birds | |||
The birds stitch Back and forth A criss-cross pattern Until the sky is a maze Of threads of flight. Across the sky From tree to tree And earth to sky And tree again, With now and then To hold, a stitch Upon the hillside, Or, over the orchard A thread they fasten In a high tree Upon the mountain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER AUDUBON EXAMINES A BITTERN by ANDREW HUDGINS DISPATCHES FROM DEVEREUX SLOUGH by MARK JARMAN A COUNTRY LIFE by RANDALL JARRELL CANADIAN WARBLER by GALWAY KINNELL YELLOW BIRD by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE CRIPPLE by KARLE WILSON BAKER MERELY STATEMENT by AMY LOWELL SONNET (ON AN OLD BOOK WITH UNCUT LEAVES) by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
