Poems by Sylvia Plath
Ode For Ted
... heaves forth stalk, leaf, fruit-nubbed emerald ...
Metaphors
... Boarded the train there's no getting off ...
The Swarm
... So much for the charioteers, the outriders, the Grand Army! ...
Moonsong At Morning
... is dissolute: no sweet disguises ...
Sonnet To Satan
... to pitch the white world down in swivelling flood, ...
The Night Dances
... The comets Have such a space to cross, ...
The Bull Of Bendylaw
... The bull surged up, the bull surged down, ...
Who
... A dressing of mule ears, mothy pelts, but green-hearted, ...
The Applicant
... Do you wear A glass eye, false teeth or a crutch, ...
Lorelei
... You lodge On the pitched reefs of nightmare, ...
A Birthday Present
... When I am quiet at my cooking I feel it looking, I feel it thinking ...
Song For A Summer's Day
... Sweet grass sprang for their grazing ...
Sheep In Fog
... They threaten To let me through to a heaven ...
The Death Of Myth-Making
... Lantern-jawed Reason, squat Common Sense, ...
The Lady And The Earthenware Head
... A dark tarn She thought of then, thick-silted, with weeds obscured, ...
