American Poets Continuum
Series
In Each In His Season, Pulitzer Prize winner W. D. Snodgrass
once again demonstrates the rich versatility of imagination that
has made him a major presence in American poetry for more than
thirty years. Here are poems of love, the seasons, animals and
humans, flowers, and journeys through a carnival of the mind–each
helping us to see who we are and why such vision matters.
Anniversary Verses for My Oldest Wife
I vowed
and vowed again
I'd
marry me no more;
I hadn't
met you then.
I reswear
all I swore.
Too
young to have known better,
You
laid down, side by side,
Our
differences together:
Your
has been; my child bride.
Through
ten years you've endured
Me
older than all others;
Since
aging hasn't cured
Your
tastes, stay thou my druthers.
Only
our second night
We
ended up at last;
This
new dog's learned the right
Old
dame can fix you fast.
