by Donald Revell
Birds small enough to nest in our young cypress
Are physicians to us
They burst from the tree exactly
Where the mind ends and the eye sees
Another world the equal of this one
Though only a small boy naked in the sun

Hi Trisha,
ReplyDeleteI never tire of reading Donald Revell. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely choice. I love that he's used rhymed couplets, but not - they're in slant rhyme sometimes, and of varying lengths, so it doesn't immediately holler "rhymed couplets" at you. It makes me want to try such a thing!
ReplyDeleteI love this one. "Sparrow hatted old New York" gets me every time. :)
ReplyDeleteSpring, spring, everyone's longing for spring.

Ooh, I don't really understand this one, but I love the feeling of strength and the way it makes me ponder the inexplicable. Lovely.
