PIXIES AT THE POOL, by RICHARD POMFRET First Line: Look below into the pool's Last Line: And flee at dawn's first light. Subject(s): Lakes; Night; Stars; Water; Pools; Ponds; Bedtime | ||||||||
Look below into the pool's Radiant reflections; many jewels You'll see -- here are stars, Look, over a bit is Mars. See that streak of silver there? We'll follow it -- I know where To see the fairest of them all -- Be careful lest you fall. The water's still, but cast a stone, Listen -- hear the Pixies groan? They meet here every night And flee at dawn's first light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN THE MOUSE'S PETITION TO DOCTOR PRIESTLY FOUND IN THE TRAP .. by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
