I remember this unseen poem I did in school for an exam. I liked the poem, but the thing is I don't know the name of the poem and I dont have it, so I thought someone here would know it. It's quite a modern poem I think. The poem is about the poet (whom/who I think is a man) who is watching his lover sit by the fire while she combs or dries her hair. It's a coal fire so it makes the poet think of dinosaurs, which are primitive, which leads him to think of their love also being primitive. Can anyone help me find this poem please?
It sounds like a Lewis Untermeyer but I'm not able to find his poem "Coal Fire". The flavor of his other poems hint that he may have been the one. He wrote:
First Love
Challenge
Leviathan
The New Adam
These Times
Burning Bush
Thanks
Long Feud
Coal Fire
Disenchanted
Questions At Night
Scarcely Spring
Last Words Before Winter
Actually, it isn't that poem, I tracked it down and it's not the one...
I'd be tempted to say that it may be something written by D.H. Lawrence but don't really have enough to go on here.
D.H. Lawrence it was a poet I didn't recognise, and I would recognise Lawrence (I think...)
