THOUGHTS OF A TINY PIG, by DAVID IGNATOW Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: If I had a different life to live Last Line: To get away from the smell. Subject(s): Farm Life; Pigs; Agriculture; Farmers; Boars; Hogs | |||
If I had a different life to live this would be the foolish one-- to root, hog, sleep and procreate. Always across my mud hole I see the farmer waiting for my size to grow, as he leans close up upon his rake. I do not even want to be the farmer nor the wife whose pig is well done, but the stranger passing by out of curiosity and anxious to get away from the smell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TRUFFLE PIGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS PHOTO OF THE AUTHOR WITH A FAVORITE PIG by WILLIAM MATTHEWS PHILOSOPHER ORDERS CRISPY PORK by HEATHER MCHUGH SONGS OF THE TRANSFORMED: PIG SONG by MARGARET ATWOOD |
