CAPRICE, by DEMIE GENAITIS First Line: I climbed that hill while peering over Last Line: Ran down the hill and crept to bed. Subject(s): Climbing; Clover; Life | ||||||||
I climbed that hill while peering over. When I looked down, up laughed a clover. I saw a spider, sunlight-pressed. His heart was in the clover, His feet were in its dew, A strip of wind within his breast, A piece of sky -- his shoe. I must call this Life -- I said, Ran down the hill and crept to bed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW |
