LUNAR COMPULSION, by LORI PETRI First Line: No charm of roof or doors Last Line: In that soft, shrouding luster. | |||
No charm of roof or doors, With a full moon ascending, Can null the silvery chores That beckon for my tending. I must be out, when land Floats in an opal shimmer, Touched by some tenuous hand, Like an enchanted swimmer. A strange, bewitched fool, Through luminous milk I wander, Turned on a mystic spool Hither and round and yonder. But what the tasks may be, Or where their numbers cluster, I cannot seem to see In that soft, shrouding luster. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG OF TWO CROWS by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE CANDLE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD COLORADO MORTON'S RIDE by LEONARD BACON (1887-1954) LORD WALTER'S WIFE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING MONNA INNOMINATA, A SONNET OF SONNETS: 4 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI MY FAMILIAR by JOHN GODFREY SAXE |
