Dorothy M. Center Poems

A poet I am, says I, says I-
I'll take you a word and twist it around
And fill it with so much glee!
...

Listen - listen - across the land called Africa-
For the birds are singing here
The roar of the lioness - the whine of her cubs
The cry of the vultures - ever, ever circling there-
...

I can fly - I can fly
On wings of angels
High - High
I can fly - I can fly!
...
