CHIPMUNKS, by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG Poet's Biography First Line: The supposedly old / and apparently new Last Line: We have the rondo all over again! Subject(s): Chipmunks; Trees | |||
The supposedly old and the apparently new, madly, blindly chasing each other, hate in each heart screeching death to the other, are chipmunks circling the trunk of a tree around and around and around and around till the two merge in one dizzy streak of a band, like a pin-wheel afire with rope-skipping flame come to what looks like a stop. But let the band stretch, the band snap? -- we have the rondo all over again! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PROBLEM OF DESCRIBING TREES by ROBERT HASS THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MIDNIGHT EDEN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN REFLECTION OF THE WOOD by LEONIE ADAMS THE LIFE OF TREES by DORIANNE LAUX FESTOONS OF FISHES by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG PEEWEE by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG .....
