FOOTLIGHT MOTIFS: 4. NATALIE ALT, by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Gentle, modest little flower Last Line: Nutty over natalie. Alternate Author Name(s): F. P. A. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | |||
GENTLE, modest little flower," (Gilbert's self is whom I quote), Were the warder of this Tower But a bard of strength and power, Not a paper pote— This would be a lasting line Telling you you are divine. "Sadly lacking in our land," (Quoting as I start to sing) Are the maidens I can stand Staring at and hearing—and Wholly everything. Falter, feet! and metre halt! When ye seek to sing Miss Alt. "This the close of every song"— This the finishing of mine: Every lyric, short or long, Always tries to tap the gong In the final line. Wherefore I confess to be Nutty over Natalie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
