POEM-SKETCH IN 3 PARTS: THE ROLLING IN OF THE WAVE, by HILDA CONKLING Poet's Biography First Line: It was night when the sky was dark blue Last Line: Bending in the wind. | |||
(Made for the picture on the jacket of the Norwegian book, The Great Hunger, by Johan Bojer) IT was night when the sky was dark blue And the water came in with a wavy look Like a spider's web. The point of the slope came down to the water's edge; It was green with a fairy ring of forget-me-not and fern. The white foam licked the side of the slope As it came up and bent backward; It curled up like a beautiful cinder-tree Bending in the wind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LITTLE SNAIL by HILDA CONKLING A THING FORGOTTEN by HILDA CONKLING ABOUT MY DREAMS by HILDA CONKLING BIRD OF PARADISE by HILDA CONKLING BUTTERFLY (1) by HILDA CONKLING |
