DIFFICULT TO DEFINE, by LORETTA POWER WILSON First Line: I like to see the sky at dawn Last Line: I guess it's -- just because. Alternate Author Name(s): Hartley, Loretta P. W. Subject(s): Contentment | ||||||||
I like to see the sky at dawn, A rose burst into bloom; A tree when all its leaves are green, Soft shadowing my room. I like to see a lake with sail boats Bent to meet the breeze; And schools of little fishes Playing hooky, if you please. I like to see a baby smile, A kitten wash its paws; The whys and wherefores? I don't know, I guess it's -- just because. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTHENOPHE: SONNET 66 by BARNABE BARNES I UNCOIL MYSELF AND LIE STRAIGHT OUT by DAVID IGNATOW WITHOUT RECRIMINATION by DAVID IGNATOW EVENTIDE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL by DORIANNE LAUX TO TWO UNKNOWN LADIES by AMY LOWELL SEPARATION by LORETTA POWER WILSON A CELEBRATION OF CHARIS: 1.
