Kim Rodrigues Poet Enclosed Rhyme

In the Hub

IN THE HUB

Pounding in the hub of his chest —
    a ruby, as red as a polished apple.
        The mellifluous heart of mercy’s chapel.
Guardian wings with a royal crest.

A multiflora rose adorns the angel’s coat.
   Rapturous hues viciously protect any threats.
      With no need to keep up, perfectly set —
crowned with a golden halo that floats.
           
The manifest expanse of his wings
   flutters only for the boy always in trouble.
      His emboldened hands manage double,
this guardian who faithfully clings.
