TOWARD THE MILLENIUM, by FRANCES HORODAS First Line: They come to sip, they come to trip Last Line: The living and dead as it bursts overhead. Subject(s): Death; Missiles; Dead, The; Guided Missiles; Ballistic Missiles | |||
THEY come to sip, they come to trip Fantasticly at Tango-Tea— Waxen floor is glistening, Perfumed throng is listening To hear a strain and dance again: Butterflies, they flit and glide; Life is fleet with Joy astride. The horrible stench of dead in the trench; An air-rending whistle; the tune of a missile Swift tearing through space a victim to trace; And shrapnel, death spewing, is ever reviewing The living and dead as it bursts overhead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 5.
