关于简单的英文诗歌篇一

Skills

by Jonathan Aaron

Blondin made a fortune walking back and forth

over Niagara Falls on a tightrope—blindfolded,

or inside a sack, or pushing a wheelbarrow, or perched on stilts,

or lugging a man on his back. Once, halfway across,

he sat down to cook and eat an omelette.

Houdini, dumped into Lake Michigan chained

and locked in a weighted trunk, swam back to the boat

a few moments later. He could swallow more than a hundred needles

and some thread, then pull from between his lips

the needles dangling at even intervals.

I can close my eyes and see your house

explode in a brilliant flash, silently,

with a complete absence of vibration. And when I open them again,

my heart in my mouth, everything is standing

just as before, but not as if nothing had happened.

Skunk Hour

by Robert Lowell

For Elizabeth Bishop

Nautilus Island's hermit

heiress still lives through winter in her Spartan cottage;

her sheep still graze above the sea.

Her son's a bishop. Her farmer

is first selectman in our village,

she's in her dotage.

Thirsting for

the hierarchic privacy

of Queen Victoria's century,

she buys up all

the eyesores facing her shore,

and lets them fall.

The season's ill——

we've lost our summer millionaire,

who seemed to leap from an L. L. Bean

catalogue. His nine-knot yawl

was auctioned off to lobstermen.

A red fox stain covers Blue Hill.

And now our fairy

decorator brightens his shop for fall,

his fishnet's filled with orange cork,

orange, his cobbler's bench and awl,

there is no money in his work,

he'd rather marry.

One dark night,

my Tudor Ford climbed the hill's skull,

I watched for love-cars. Lights turned down,

they lay together, hull to hull,

where the graveyard shelves on the town. . . .

My mind's not right.

A car radio bleats,

'Love, O careless Love . . . .' I hear

my ill-spirit sob in each blood cell,

as if my hand were at its throat . . . .

I myself am hell,

nobody's here——

only skunks, that search

in the moonlight for a bite to eat.

They march on their soles up Main Street:

white stripes, moonstruck eyes' red fire

under the chalk-dry and spar spire

of the Trinitarian Church.

I stand on top

of our back steps and breathe the rich air——

a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the

garbage pail

She jabs her wedge-head in a cup

of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,

and will not scare.

Sky

by Anzhelina Polonskaya

Translated by Andrew Wachtel

He broke up the sky on the square and gave it like bread crumbs to birds.

Then he cut it in pieces and threw it to the beggars,

the crazies, the blind, and their companions.

But I got an end, smashed like a cup thrown to the ground,

lying on its back like a wounded soldier,

uncomplaining, as a harem wife

hiding her gaze behind a black veil.

The plains' bed is spread with houses, and everyone

beneath it ages like a slave chained in bondage;

save his high-cheek-boned face.

Tensing my voice I started to refuse my free portion.

But I stayed mute, the sky's mouth was filled with lead.

Skylab

by Rolf Jacobsen

Translated by Roger Greenwald

We've come so far, thought the astronaut

as he swam around the capsule in his third week

and by accident kicked a god in the eye

——so far

that there's no difference anymore between up and down,

north and south, heavy and light.

And how, then, can we know righteousness.

So far.

And weightless, in a sealed room

we chase the sunrises at high speed

and sicken with longing for a green stalk

or the heft of something in our hands. Lifting a stone.

One night he saw that the Earth was like an open eye

that looked at him as gravely as the eye of a child

awakened in the middle of the night.

Slanting Light

by Arthur Sze

Slanting light casts onto a stucco wall

the shadows of upwardly zigzagging plum branches.

I can see the thinning of branches to the very twig.

I have to sift what you say, what she thinks,

what he believes is genetic strength, what

they agree is inevitable. I have to sift this

quirky and lashing stillness of form to see myself,

even as I see laid out on a table for Death

an assortment of pomegranates and gourds.

And what if Death eats a few pomegranate seeds?

Does it insure a few years of pungent spring?

I see one gourd, yellow from midsection to top

and zucchini-green lower down, but

already the big orange gourd is gnawed black.

I have no idea why the one survives the killing nights.

I have to sift what you said, what I felt,

what you hoped, what I knew. I have to sift

death as the stark light sifts the branches of the plum.
