First A Poem Must Be Magical

"Mãe e Filha Pintura" by Simon De la Rosa

 

First a poem must be magical,
Then musical as a seagull.
It must be a brightness moving
And hold secret a bird’s flowering.
It must be slender like a bell,
And it must hold fire as well.
It must have the wisdom of bows
And it must kneel like a rose
It must be able to hear
The luminance of dove and deer.
I tmust be able to hide
What it seeks like a bride
And over all I would like to hover
God, smiling from the poem’s cover.
