And a Final Amy Lowell Chinois Poem…

Posted: July 14th, 2012 | 1 Comment »

…and so concludes out little blast of Chinois poetry in this, China Rhyming’s, year of Chinois Poetry!! A third short poem by Amy Lowell from the Harriet Monroe edited collection published in 1917. This one is called Falling Snow:

 

THE SNOW whispers about me,

And my wooden clogs

Leave holes behind me in the snow.

But no one will pass this way

Seeking my footsteps, 

And when the temple bell rings again

They will be covered and gone.

    No! Not the last one, Paul. Look out for my poetry collection, Reaching For My Gnu. Out soon at a kindle near you, then paperback.
