BROADWAY IN THE OZARKS: NIGHT, by BETTY CORBETT BASSETT First Line: The tall, flung trees Last Line: The virgin, noisy night untouched by man-made melody. Subject(s): Ozarks (mountains) | |||
The tall, flung trees, Peopled by whirring wings, Speak stridently into one of summer's neon nights. The big, pale moon Saunters slowly down the skies ... Times Square surrounded by the stars' headlights. The little lightning-bugs Flash on, wink off, Dots and dashes on the screens of shadows' density; This, before my eyes, Is oldest bedlam -- The virgin, noisy night untouched by man-made melody. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OZARKS PICTURESQUE by DORIS ELIZABETH KROETER MOONLIGHT: CHICKENS ON THE ROAD by ROBERT WRIGLEY DREAM LIFE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE INNOVATOR by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET OF THE DAY ESTIVALL by ALEXANDER HUME THE BELLS OF LONDON by MOTHER GOOSE THE EAGLE OF SONG by BACCHYLIDES WRITTEN ON THE DEATH OF OUR BELOVED GENERAL STONEWALL JACKSON by CAROLINE AUGUSTA BALL TO SIGURD by KATHARINE LEE BATES |
