STREAMLINERA: OCEAN-LINER, by PAULINE JONES BURNS First Line: With arrow-speed an agile greyhound runs Last Line: With vibrant power, conquers time and space. Subject(s): Ships & Shipping | ||||||||
With arrow-speed an agile greyhound runs A seaward race with Time, his haunches gleaming Against the sky. He leaps with force that stuns Defiant winds and fogs low-hanging, streaming Along his path, nor veers until the race Is won. A metal greyhound quivering, teeming With vibrant power, conquers Time and Space. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW THE SHIP POUNDING by DONALD HALL ULTRAISTA ONEIRIC by ANSELM HOLLO THE NORTH SHIP by PHILIP LARKIN GOOD SHIPS by JOHN CROWE RANSOM REPRISAL by PAULINE JONES BURNS |
