CRISS-CROSS PATTERN, by ETHEL BRODT WILSON First Line: The birds stitch / back and forth Last Line: Upon the mountain. Subject(s): Birds | ||||||||
The birds stitch Back and forth A criss-cross pattern Until the sky is a maze Of threads of flight. Across the sky From tree to tree And earth to sky And tree again, With now and then To hold, a stitch Upon the hillside, Or, over the orchard A thread they fasten In a high tree Upon the mountain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER AUDUBON EXAMINES A BITTERN by ANDREW HUDGINS DISPATCHES FROM DEVEREUX SLOUGH by MARK JARMAN A COUNTRY LIFE by RANDALL JARRELL CANADIAN WARBLER by GALWAY KINNELL YELLOW BIRD by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE CRIPPLE by KARLE WILSON BAKER |
