1. Blue Winter - written by Robert Francis
Read 1050 times on American Poems.

Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,

Before I ever knew
How white a cherry bough could be,

Oh burn... (Read full poem)

When a people reach the top of a hill,

Before the new battalions rise,
Blue battalions.
The moon shall not... (Read full poem)

Give away her shoes;
She has no more use
For her fragrant gowns;

In her narrow shoes;
Sweep her narrow shoes

Their arrogant campaign --(Read full poem)

As blue as blue can be, winds make
