LUNAR COMPULSION, by LORI PETRI First Line: No charm of roof or doors Last Line: In that soft, shrouding luster. | ||||||||
No charm of roof or doors, With a full moon ascending, Can null the silvery chores That beckon for my tending. I must be out, when land Floats in an opal shimmer, Touched by some tenuous hand, Like an enchanted swimmer. A strange, bewitched fool, Through luminous milk I wander, Turned on a mystic spool Hither and round and yonder. But what the tasks may be, Or where their numbers cluster, I cannot seem to see In that soft, shrouding luster. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY PRAISE THE SUN by JOHN CROWE RANSOM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE PRINCESS: SONG by ALFRED TENNYSON FLOWER AND THORN by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE SONG OF THE SAVOYARDS by HENRY AMES BLOOD OF THE CHILD WITH THE BIRD AT THE BUSH by JOHN BUNYAN |
