CLOUDS, by LINCOLN COLCORD First Line: The clouds rise over the high mountains Last Line: I should not have looked away. Subject(s): Clouds; Nature; Weather | |||
The clouds rise over the high mountains, They rise over the rim of the sea ... While I was looking away, the first one rose. Swift, swift, swift, Still like birds, silent like thoughts, inexorable like time ... I have tried — I cannot stop them! It was all light a while ago — all clear: Now they have put out the sky. I should not have looked away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD HOW TO FORETELL A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER by TED KOOSER LEAVING BUFFALO by CHARLES MARTIN WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES TO WARM, THE BOYS DRIVE SHIRTLESS by MARY JO BANG THE LIFE OF TOWNS: ONE-MAN TOWN by ANNE CARSON POWER FAILURE by MADELINE DEFREES THE CITY OF THE OLESHA FRUIT by NORMAN DUBIE FRAGMENTS WRITTEN WHILE TRAVELING...A MIDWESTERN HEAT WAVE by JAMES GALVIN |
