Sandra Haight Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

An Ode To Nature's Pageantry

I think that I shall never see
     a poem lovely as a tree-
with branches lifted, prayerfully
     toward the sky so artfully,
braced by a trunk, which faithfully 
     brings forth the vital energy
from root's unending synergy-
     sustaining life, praiseworthily.
Soft breezes start a symphony;
     limbs conducting musically
with green leaves rustling joyfully
     to whispers of wind's rhapsody.
An ode to nature's pageantry
     presenting rhythm flowingly-
a poem, lovely as a tree-
     I think that I shall never see.
