YESTERDAY, by RUTH LASHORNE BUNDY First Line: Swift as a pigeon's wings Last Line: To her finger ladder, rung by rung. Subject(s): Past; Pigeons | |||
Swift as a pigeon's wings The memory swings, Back into a high vaulted past Where silent stands A child with a dead pigeon In her hands. Upon her face A white stark flash of pain. Because the beating of a heavy rain, Had robbed her of a treasured friend Whose little coral feet had clung To her finger ladder, rung by rung. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TRINITY PLACE by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY STREET SONGS: 1.
