AN ORATORICAL DIFFICULTY, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: I'd like to speak of camouflage Last Line: It shall not be in flanders. Subject(s): Language - Pronunciation | ||||||||
I'd like to speak of camouflage In manner philosophic, And that mysterious barrage, A most enticing topic. Those noble words and novel themes, How gloriously I'd bounce'em Through brilliant oratoric dreams, If I could but pronounce 'em. And here and now this orator Petitions all commanders, That if we have another war It shall not be in Flanders. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DROPPING YOUR AITCHES by JOSEPH WARREN BEACH IMMIGRANTS WRESTLING WITH SOUNDS by NICHOLAS KOLUMBAN BRIEF EXPERIMENT IN LINGUISTICS by JOAN RETALLACK HOLLYWOOD AND HYDROQUINONE by REETIKA VAZIRANI FUNCKTIONSLUST by CHARLES HARPER WEBB A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BELATED MEMORIAL by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
