We know who
the guards are
in those POW
movies with brutal

Read 2127 times on American Poems.
In his tenth July some instinct
taught him to arm the waiting wave,
a giant where its mouth hung open.

with children paddling their ages in,
under the glare od noon... (Read full poem)

The sky was a midnight blue
velvet cloth draping
a birdcage and no moon
but the breeze was whistling
and the sound of a car

the rush of a waterfall
on the phone in New York City
and that's when the muse
turned up with curly... (Read full poem)

Little poppies, little hell flames,

Anger,
as black as a hook,
overtakes me.
Each day,
each Nazi
took, at 8:00 A.M., a baby
and sauteed him for breakfast
in his frying pan.
And death looks on with a casual eye
and picks at the dirt under his fingernail.
Man is evil,

Clownlike, happiest on your hands,
Feet to the stars, and moon-skulled,

Thumbs-down on the dodo's mode.
Wrapped up in yourself like a spool,
Trawling your dark, as owls do.
Mute as a turnip from the Fourth

MANY ways to spell good night.
Fireworks at a pier on the Fourth of July spell it with red wheels and yellow spokes.

Gone is her gentler music; with delight
She listens to this booming like... (Read full poem)

Read 1443 times on American Poems.
The continent's a tamed ox, with all its mountains,
Powerful and servile; here is for plowland, here is

All docile between this ocean and the other. If... (Read full poem)

the heat leaking through the hinges,
