CONTOURS, by NOEL COWARD Poet's Biography First Line: Round - oblong - like jam Last Line: That's what it is. Subject(s): Sitwell, Edith (1887-1964) | |||
Round — oblong — like jam — Terse as virulent hermaphrodites; Calling across the sodden twisted Edifices of importunity Sway like Parmesan before the half-tones Of Episcopalian Michaelmas; Bodies are so impossible to see in retrospect — And yet I know the well of truth Is gutted like pratchful Unicorn. Sog, sog, sog — why is my mind amphibious? That's what it is. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SITWELL'S FRIEND, DOLORES HIDALGO by SANDRA STONE MRS.
