POPPIES by CARL SANDBURG

Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE LOVES BLOOD-RED POPPIES FOR A GARDEN TO WALK IN
Last Line: SHE LOVES BLOOD-RED POPPIES FOR A GARDEN TO WALK IN.
Subject(s): POPPIES;
SHE loves blood-red poppies for a garden to walk in.
In a loose white gown she walks
and a new child tugs at cords in her body.
Her head to the west at evening when the dew is creeping,
A shudder of gladness runs in her bones and torsal fiber:
She loves blood-red poppies for a garden to walk in.
