TO HER LOVELINESS

 by Raphael Block

each crinkly leaf

each trailing yellow shamrock

or clover crown

each floating spore

swallow swoop

canopy of thousands dancing to the wind

each set of see-through humming wings

open-throated quaver

bright-spiked shoot

each fledgling oak

tottering on

its slender stem

scarlet neckband

draped round

golden poppy

each pair of gold-rimmed coupling beetles

sunbathing mottled rock

swan-winged scented iris

binds us to her loveliness.

David Field
