THE SKIFF, by AL-MUNSAFI First Line: Its legs unlooping Last Line: Lashes of the eye. | |||
Its legs unlooping I watched a swimmer glide, A falcon swooping By eagles terrified: An eyeball squinting Acutely at the sky, Its oars the glinting Lashes of the eye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY LADY'S TEARS by JOHN DOWLAND WHEN I BUY PICTURES by MARIANNE MOORE PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 1 by EDWARD TAYLOR MASSACHUSETTS TO VIRGINIA by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER SOLILOQUIES OF A SMALL-TOWN TAXI-DRIVER: ON THE WRITING OF POETRY by EDGAR BARRATT ASCENSION (1) by JOSEPH BEAUMONT THE FISHERMAN'S CHANT by FRANCIS COWLEY BURNAND |
