THE WASP, by WILLIAM SHARP Poet's Biography First Line: Where the ripe pears droop heavily Last Line: A tiger-soul on elfin wings. Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona Subject(s): Animals | |||
Where the ripe pears droop heavily The yellow wasp hums loud and long His hot and drowsy autumn song: A yellow flame he seems to be, When darting suddenly from high He lights where fallen peaches lie: Yellow and black, this tiny thing's A tiger-soul on elfin wings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROMANTIC MOMENTS by TONY HOAGLAND INSECT LIFE OF FLORIDA by LYNDA HULL THE ANIMALS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE PRESENCES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES BESTIARY by EARL (EARLE) BIRNEY |
