CATTLE, by LORI PETRI First Line: I learned how glowingly god shields Last Line: He pondered them upon his palm. | |||
I learned how glowingly God shields Even the creatures of the fields. When cloud dulled all the high hill land, Their pasture, hollow as a hand Against the sky, shone gold with sun. And there, remotely, one by one They clung, as though, in luminous calm, He pondered them upon His palm. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LUNAR COMPULSION by LORI PETRI LAUGHING SONG, FR.
