VERN, by GWENDOLYN BROOKS Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When walking in a tiny rain Last Line: Nor mock the tears you have to hide Subject(s): Animals; Dogs; Friendship | |||
When walking in a tiny rain/ Across the vacant lot, A pup's a good companion -- If a pup you've got. And when you've had a scold, And no one loves you very, And you cannot be merry, A pup will let you look at him, And even let you hold His little wiggly warmness -- And let you snuggle down beside. Nor mock the tears you have to hide. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU & I BELONG IN THIS KITCHEN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JASON THE REAL by TONY HOAGLAND NO RESURRECTION by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL ALMSWOMAN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO AN ENEMY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM SONNET: 10.
