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...TRULY GREAT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES A SONNET, TO THE NOBLE LADY, THE LADY MARY WROTH by BEN JONSON THE BELFRY PIGEON by NATHANIEL PARKER WILLIS ON THE DEATH OF CYNTHIA'S HORSE by PHILIP AYRES TO THE WINDS; A SONG by PHILIP AYRES THE BLACK MOUSQUETAIRE; A LEGEND OF FRANCE by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM |
