POINT LOMA BREEZES, by YETTA KAY STODDARD First Line: Our south breeze is an actress, who skips with Last Line: Jazzing shamelessly. Subject(s): Point Loma, California; Wind | ||||||||
Our South breeze is an actress, who skips with practised grace; This West's a coyish lassy, who dreams beside the sea; The East's a flirt, a fliskmahoy, a flippant brazen-face; And our North's a giant dancing, a gay gray giant dancing, A defiant giant dancing -- Dancing frenziedly. It's joy to watch the South breeze trip down Gill's field of grass; I thrill to have this West breeze whispering love to me; But one still more diverting than the East up Gage's Pass Is our foggy cold one jazzing, our groggy bold one jazzing, Our frampold flogging North breeze Jazzing shamelessly. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER THE HERETIC: 3.
