FRAGMENTARY, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: I like the little poems Last Line: In little books that hide. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
I like the little poems That hide in little books, Waiting for little snatches In little, cozy nooks. They mind me of the robins, With fragrant whiffs of song, Far dearer than Beethoven, -- But that is very wrong! Perhaps if life in ordered Continuance would run, Not now a bit of shadow And now a bit of sun, -- Perhaps I might, if living Were epic-long and wide, Care less for little poems In little books that hide. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
