ELEMENTAL, by VERNE BRIGHT First Line: Fire, malevolent, can char Last Line: Love is much akin to these. | |||
Fire, malevolent, can char And make a cinder of a star. Water, with its trivial thrust, Can grind a continent to dust. With its swift obsidian dart, Frost can break a mountain's heart.... To a soul bereft of ease, Love is much akin to these. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HARVEST OUT OF STONE by VERNE BRIGHT LAMENT FOR OLD MEN by VERNE BRIGHT LAMENT FOR PIONEERS by VERNE BRIGHT ONLY THE HEART IS HAUNTED by VERNE BRIGHT LOST ILLUSIONS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE CANDLE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD OZYMANDIAS REVISITED by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP DICKENS IN CAMP by FRANCIS BRET HARTE MEMORY OF THE IRISH DEAD by JOHN KELLS INGRAM |
