BROADWAY IN THE OZARKS: NIGHT, by BETTY CORBETT BASSETT First Line: The tall, flung trees Last Line: The virgin, noisy night untouched by man-made melody. Subject(s): Ozarks (mountains) | |||
The tall, flung trees, Peopled by whirring wings, Speak stridently into one of summer's neon nights. The big, pale moon Saunters slowly down the skies ... Times Square surrounded by the stars' headlights. The little lightning-bugs Flash on, wink off, Dots and dashes on the screens of shadows' density; This, before my eyes, Is oldest bedlam -- The virgin, noisy night untouched by man-made melody. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OZARKS PICTURESQUE by DORIS ELIZABETH KROETER MOONLIGHT: CHICKENS ON THE ROAD by ROBERT WRIGLEY ABANDONED RANCH, BIG BEND by HAYDEN CARRUTH CONTRA MORTEM: THE LEAVES by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE FALCONER OF GOD by WILLIAM ROSE BENET INVITATION TO LOVE by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE MEANING OF PRAYER by JAMES MONTGOMERY A RECIPE FOR SALAD by SYDNEY SMITH |
