SMALL BOY'S RESIGNATION, by RALPH J. DONAHUE First Line: For weeks he tried to interest her Last Line: He washed his ears and neck! Subject(s): Love | |||
For weeks he tried to interest her With stones of red and blue; She snubbed his efforts, every one, As only girls can do. He turned handsprings and hung from trees, Till clothes were in a wreck; As last resort, so great his love, He washed his ears and neck! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD MIGRANT WINGS by RALPH J.
