THE POET, by                    
First Line: I never had a schooner / with pink
Last Line: In mountains of the moon.
Subject(s): Poetry & Poets


I never had a schooner
With pink, delightful sails
To roll me into Shanghai
Alongside silken bales.

Never my hands held title
To airship floating free
Across the roofs of Corinth --
But never pity me.

I carry in my pocket
A sail and a balloon
Ample for exploration
In mountains of the moon.
