OLD WOMAN FAIRY, by MARY BRODINE First Line: She dressed in tiered petticoats Last Line: And sang through a straw. | ||||||||
She dressed in tiered petticoats, Tissued and green, And drifted her hair like a wind That listed and flew and careened, Leaving the air odors of almond, Carnation and mint And the watered, wet musk Of weeds in the sea. She ate from her fingers figs and wild wheat; And when she was tired She rode a black turtle And sang through a straw. | Other Poems of Interest...THE JOBHOLDER by DAVID IGNATOW THINGS ARE WHAT THEY SEEM by MARIANNE MOORE THE SONG MAKER by SARA TEASDALE TYRANNICK [TYRANNIC] LOVE: PROLOGUE by JOHN DRYDEN RETRIBUTION by FRIEDRICH VON LOGAU THE VOYAGE TO VINLAND: 3.
