WARPED FLOWER, by SHEILA BARBOUR First Line: Twisted and pale, oh passionate one Last Line: Upon you set. Subject(s): Flowers | ||||||||
Twisted and pale, oh passionate one, Sullen and still, Wearing your beauty like a cross, Against your will; Silken and white, oh languorous flower, Slender and wan; Exotic wraith for drifting mists To breathe upon. Too frail for those soft dews that make Your petals wet, Shrinking from every vivid glance Upon you set. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY SAW THE PROBLEM by MARK JARMAN SHAKE THE SUPERFLUX! by DAVID LEHMAN THE M??TIER OF BLOSSOMING by DENISE LEVERTOV TANKA DIARY (6) by HARRYETTE MULLEN VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN FORCED BLOOM by STEPHEN ELLIOTT DUNN BEAUTIFUL LADY by SHEILA BARBOUR |
