WHITE HUNGER, by KATHRYN WORTH First Line: Softly the silly flocks of snow Last Line: Leaving no golden crumbs behind. Subject(s): Birds; Hunger; White (color) | ||||||||
Softly the silly flocks of snow Drop wool across the meadowlands; I dig my frightened thoughts below Seeking the grass's lost green hands. Did ever crimson flagon-rose Make Summer drunk with elder wine? My heart is desolate for those Blue days of phlox and columbine. I kneel among the vanished bees, Starving for color in my mind, Since frost has eaten up the trees Leaving no golden crumbs behind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MARILYN MONROE WHOSE FAVORITE COLOR WAS WHITE by MADELINE DEFREES FEBRUARY: THE BOY BREUGHEL by NORMAN DUBIE WEDDING CAKE by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE MY CRYSTAL BRIDE by WILLIAM EDWARD ADAMS THE TWO FLAMES by ELOISE BRITON NAILSWORTH HILL by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
