CRIMSON SUNSET, by BYRDIE L. MARTIN First Line: A slim and tipsy moon / is dangling in the west Last Line: O'er a mad, topsy-turvy, gaping world. Subject(s): Anger; Courts & Courtiers | |||
A slim and tipsy moon Is dangling in the west; King Sol, of kingship weary, Is going to his rest. Outraged, he is departing, With anger he is smarting, See that last javelin-look he hurled; Slashing himself, in frenzied mood, Pouring his blood, in a flood, O'er a mad, topsy-turvy, gaping world. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BOTHWELL: PART 4 by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN IN PHARAOH'S TOMB by HAYDEN CARRUTH JUSTICE LISTENS AT THE GATES OF BEAUTY by AIME CESAIRE FOR THE INVESTITURE by CECIL DAY LEWIS ELEGY ASKING THAT IT BE THE LAST; FOR INGRID ERHARDT, 1951-1971 by NORMAN DUBIE MY SISTER, THE QUEEN by EDWARD FIELD L,ENVOI: IN OUR TIME by ERNEST HEMINGWAY VASHTI by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON BUT WHEN I SAW GRAND CANYON by BYRDIE L.
