FLOWER -- I never fancied, jewel -- I profess you! Bright I see and soft I feel the outside of a flower. Save but glow inside and -- jewel, I should guess you, Dim to sight and rough to touch: the glory is the dower. You, forsooth, a flower? Nay, my love, a jewel -- Jewel at no mercy of a moment in your prime! Time may fray the flower-face: kind be time or cruel, Jewel, from each facet, flash your laugh at time! | 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 CHILDE ROLAND TO THE DARK TOWER CAME' by ROBERT BROWNING |
