GARDEN WIRELESS, by CARL SANDBURG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: How many feet ran with sunlight, water, and rain Last Line: Love me -- love me now. Subject(s): Love | |||
HOW many feet ran with sunlight, water, and air? What little devils shaken of laughter, cramming their little ribs with chuckles, Fixed this lone red tulip, a woman's mouth of passion kisses, a nun's mouth of sweet thinking, here topping a straight line of green, a pillar stem? Who hurled this bomb of red caresses? -- nodding balloon-film shooting its wireless every fraction of a second these June days: Love me before I die; Love me -- love me now. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT |
