A NOTE ON LIZARDS' FEET, by JAMES VAN RENSSELAER First Line: Out on the desert Last Line: To give 'em all wings! Subject(s): Lizards | ||||||||
Out on the desert Where the sands are hot The lizards don't walk They gallop or trot. And you would, too; For it ain't so sweet To have the old sand A-burning your feet. Oh, a lizard's feet Is tender things, And it wouldn't of hurt God To give 'em all wings! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TANKA DIARY (1) by HARRYETTE MULLEN THE LIZARD by THEODORE ROETHKE AMERICANS ARE AFRAID OF LIZARDS by KARL SHAPIRO LEAVE HIM ALONE by JAMES WRIGHT THE LIZARDS; FROM YRIARTE by JOHN GODFREY SAXE |
