Kim Rodrigues Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Loose Leafs

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree…
—Joyce Kilmer

LOOSE LEAFS

In the dusting of the Springtime,
blush petals fall - sobriquet-youth.
Scented thoughts of yesterday, rhyme
elementary, with loose leafs.*

Poems Sweet Honesty, presume.
Honeysuckle lines with hair pulls.
The binder, neat, with florid bloom.
Exaltation of the classics.

It’s only in looking behind,
observation of curvy tree,
wholly beautifully designed -
the step by step instruction wings.

With irregular ruler edge,
falls sweetest words along the ledge.
