David Herbert Lawrence (Дэвид Герберт Лоуренс)


Conundrums


Tell me a word
that you've often heard,
yet it makes you squint
when you see it in print!

Tell me a thing
that you've often seen
yet if put in a book
it makes you turn green!

Tell me a thing
that you often do,
when described in a story
shocks you through and through!

Tell me what's wrong
with words or with you
that you don't mind the thing
yet the name is taboo. 



David Herbert Lawrence's other poems:
  1. Submergence
  2. A Sane Revolution
  3. Scent Of Irises
  4. How Beastly the Bourgeois Is
  5. The Mosquito
