BOSTON IN SUMMER, WITH A CONFESSION, by JOHN BROOKS WHEELWRIGHT Poet's Biography First Line: Neglected transcripts on the steps of Last Line: And april dung storms. Subject(s): Confessions; Summer; Travel; Vacation; Journeys; Trips | ||||||||
NEGLECTED Transcripts on the steps of houses boarded up and blinking behind diamonds, diamonds, hearts, and quatrefoils. A fountain playing in the rain always shocks me (so extravagant!) But then, I was ever one to suck squeezed grape skins and pour boiling water over used tea leaves. Still, should my summer pass without the glare of orange paths, tropic palms, and, in the sweaty night, swan-boats looped with lanterns, I would flinch before our Siberian winter and April dung storms. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
