Analysis of The poem they wanted
Jonathan G Lynch 1984 (Colorado)
Why do birds suddenly appear;
They often sing when you are near,
Closer, Closer to you.
Why do trumpets volley a tune;
They often call me to champion your graceful swoon,
Closer, Closer to you.
Why do pears make hiding in summer clothes a gone;
If dressed in our skins, ripened for summer's long,
Closer, Closer to you
