DISASTER, by MAY FAIR First Line: A mossy knoll under a dogwood tree Last Line: And plodding on, knew not their writhing pain. Subject(s): Ants; Insects; Bugs | ||||||||
A mossy knoll under a dogwood tree, Seemed as a grove of lacy trees on a hill To hordes of ants that marched in lines, As traffic on a busy market day -- A passing man, a seeming giant, Crushed them beneath his heavy boots, And plodding on, knew not their writhing pain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EXHAUSTED BUG; FOR MY FATHER by ROBERT BLY PLASTIC BEATITUDE by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BEETLE LIGHT; FOR DANIEL HILLEN by MADELINE DEFREES CLEMATIS MONTANA by MADELINE DEFREES THOMAS MERTON AND THE WINTER MARSH by NORMAN DUBIE SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 39 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
