AROUND THAT WAIST, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Around that waist, scarce bigger than my neck Last Line: Kissed without mercy by a powerful bee. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Bodies | |||
Around that waist, scarce bigger than my neck, Where my two arms can make a double band, That's how I'd like to hold her in a knot, Clasping my elbow fast with either hand. To feel her soft round body slip and turn, And still to feel no bones; that clings to me, Till she becomes at last the trembling flower Kissed without mercy by a powerful bee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BODY BREAKING by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#15): 2.
