STATUETTE, by DOLORES DOROTHE BOST First Line: The statuette stands in the window Last Line: With warmer lips than glass. | |||
The statuette stands in the window, Her hands upon her hips, A smile of subtle coldness Upon her crystal lips. A shapely little figure, Unhappy little jade, A tear beneath each eyelid In crystal ice is laid. I would not be a statue With breasts so high and round. Nor do I harbor envy; She cannot make a sound. Though lacking her perfection, I am a happy lass For I can say "I love you" With warmer lips than glass. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WOODNOTES: 2 by RALPH WALDO EMERSON REMINISCENCE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH HABAKKUK'S PRAYER by WILLIAM BROOME IN THE DARK by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN THE CONTRAST BETWEEN TWO LORDS AT THEIR EXECUTION by JOHN BYROM |
