Analysis of Questions, Nova Rhodes
Do Lady Slippers ask for death
While resting in the pines?
Full blown; framed by lens,
There, standing tall in forest sun
Bloom racing yachts before the wind
Billowed sails down wind running
Perhaps pregnant white dressed Virgins
Belly ripe, full of life, in linen,
Holding hands with her Dutch Burgher.
The painter's well paid image
Misdirects and misinforms.
The poet does no less for less
Do Lady Slippers pray for rain
Is their passion death?
