IMAGERY, by RUTH IRVING CONNER
First Line: Perhaps, a tree, a sweet slim tree
Last Line: Me knitting placidly.
Subject(s): Knitting
First Line: Perhaps, a tree, a sweet slim tree
Last Line: Me knitting placidly.
Subject(s): Knitting
Perhaps, a tree, a sweet slim tree,
And when the wind with fluted strings
Sends little joyous signalings
I twirl my painted skirts and dance a gay coupee!
The passerby can only see
Me knitting soberly.
At times, a gull, a storm-swept gull,
I fight my way from crest to crest
My heart congealed within my breast!
I rise! I fall! To rise again with ecstasy!
The passerby can only see
Me knitting placidly.
