THE FLATTER'S LAMENT, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "search, search, search / for a flat that's fit for me" Last Line: Will never come back to me Subject(s): Lament | |||
SEARCH, search, search For a flat that's fit for me — That's not too high nor yet too low — I would that one I'd see! From early Monday morn Till late on Saturday night I walked and talked and booked and looked — And nothing has come right! They won't take children here; Some bedrooms have no air; This one's too large and that too small — There are no set tubs there. So, it's search, search, search In mute expectancy, But the house I had with the big front yard Will never come back to me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELEGY ASKING THAT IT BE THE LAST; FOR INGRID ERHARDT, 1951-1971 by NORMAN DUBIE ELEGY FOR WRIGHT & HUGO by NORMAN DUBIE ELEGY TO THE PULLEY OF SUPERIOR OBLIQUE by NORMAN DUBIE THE ELEGY FOR INTEGRAL DOMAINS by NORMAN DUBIE BRAVURA LAMENT by DANIEL HALPERN THE UNPEOPLED, CONVENTIONAL ROSE-GARDEN' by KENNETH REXROTH |
