Sonnet I by Jose Garcia Villa

First, a poem must be magical, Then musical as sea gull. It must be a brightness moving And hold secret a birds flowering.

It must be slender as 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. It must be able to hide What it seeks, like a bride.

And over all I would like to hover God, smiling from the poems cover.
