ON THE ROADWAY TO MATANZAS by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG

Poet Analysis

First Line: ON THE ROAD TO MATANZAS / I WAS BUSY BUILDING STANZAS
Last Line: IN CAESURAS OF THOSE PALMS.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;
On the roadway to Matanzas
I was busy building stanzas.

Some were good and some were bad,
But they one and all were mad.

For I knew the gods walked lately
Here where royal palms were stately,

And their haunting gave me qualms
In caesuras of those palms.
