THINK-ABOUTS, by DAISY MAUD BELLIS Poet's Biography First Line: When I was very little, and had been put Last Line: "into garlands, and the flowers answer all my ""think-abouts." Subject(s): Flowers; Habits; Thought; Thinking | ||||||||
When I was very little, and had been put to bed, A many little "think-abouts" went running in my head. "Think of buttercups and daisies," was what my mother said. So I saw the flowers nodding to each other on the grass, And I knew that they were talking of what would come to pass. Flowers told me many secrets when I was a little lass. And I have formed the habit, if I ever have the "pouts," Of wearing them with flowers -- with my questions, too, and doubts, Into garlands, and the flowers answer all my "think-abouts." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILLE ET UN SENTIMENTS (PREMIERS CENTS) by DENISE DUHAMEL SUNDAY AFTERNOON by CLARENCE MAJOR I BROOD ABOUT SOME CONCEPTS, FOR EXAMPLE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER EASY LESSONS IN GEOPHAGY by KENNETH REXROTH GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH ON FLOWER WREATH HILL: 1 by KENNETH REXROTH A CONCEPTION by DAISY MAUD BELLIS |
