STATUETTE, by DOLORES DOROTHE BOST First Line: The statuette stands in the window Last Line: With warmer lips than glass. | |||
The statuette stands in the window, Her hands upon her hips, A smile of subtle coldness Upon her crystal lips. A shapely little figure, Unhappy little jade, A tear beneath each eyelid In crystal ice is laid. I would not be a statue With breasts so high and round. Nor do I harbor envy; She cannot make a sound. Though lacking her perfection, I am a happy lass For I can say "I love you" With warmer lips than glass. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FRIENDS BEYOND by THOMAS HARDY DANNY DEEVER by RUDYARD KIPLING THE BELLS OF LYNN; HEARD AT NAHANT by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE ROSE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH BRUCE: HOW THE BRUCE CROSSED LOCH LOMOND by JOHN BARBOUR |
