ROOM - TO LET, by RAE ANGELO OCKERMAN First Line: I've had a vacancy for years Last Line: And fill this vacancy. Subject(s): Sons | ||||||||
I've had a vacancy for years Within an empty heart; A furnished room with furbelows With love was set apart. For the little girl, who never came To burst my heart with joy; But what a glorious substitute When God sent me a boy. Now I know that you, my son And deft propinquity Will make a goodly choice for me And fill this vacancy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LATEST INJURY by SHARON OLDS PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS TWO SONGS OF PEACE: 1 by YEHUDA AMICHAI THE SMALLISH SON by HAYDEN CARRUTH SARAH'S PROMISE by LUCILLE CLIFTON ANY MAN'S ADVICE TO HIS SON by KENNETH FEARING THE RIGHTFUL ONE by DAVID IGNATOW SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: PENNIWIT, THE ARTIST by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
