STARS, by NAN ROADS First Line: A sheet of blue white Last Line: In the arms of the night. Subject(s): Lakes; Night; Stars; Pools; Ponds; Bedtime | ||||||||
A sheet of blue white, With gold penetrations, Twinkling with light, In sharp punctuations, With millions and millions Of dashes and dots, Heaven spilled scores Of Forget-me-nots, Down into a pool. The pool is not deep As the Heaven is high, But who can tell where The pool turns to sky? So gently the pool, In depths of blue white, Sleeps calm and serene, In the arms of the night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN |
