WEBS, by MARY SINTON LEITCH Poet's Biography First Line: I weave a web of song to snare Last Line: Will flash a word, a song, a wing. Subject(s): Insects; Spiders; Weaving & Weavers; Bugs | ||||||||
I weave a web of song to snare A mood -- the memory of a spray Of foam-flower, blossoms of the pear, I hold within a roundelay A word of love, a robin's note, A seamew's cry -- lest I forget -- I capture from a throbbing throat And prison in a triolet. Or some sweet sorrow that has been Too prone to fade, like leaves that fall, I keep inviolate within The meshes of a madrigal. In sadder years when I misdoubt The beauty I was wont to sing, I'll open wide my web, and out Will flash a word, a song, a wing. | 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 |
