FASTASIA, by ROMA COOLIDGE MULVIHILL First Line: Today / I have watched myriad blackbirds Last Line: Tears at my heart-strings! Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
Today, I have watched myriad blackbirds Arrange a symphonic score On the telephone wires. I have brushed by the humble ivy Whose sensitive fingers Pluck at the strings of her trellis. I have danced To the clicking castanets Of the rain. And all the while The sorrow of your singing Tears at my heart-strings! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS COUNTRYWOMEN by KATHERINE MANSFIELD WINDFLOWER LEAF by CARL SANDBURG ALMANZOR & ALMAHIDE, OR THE CONQUEST OF GRANADA: PART 2.
