10-ROOFTOP

ROOFTOP

Sunflowers rule.

Butterfly bush

And black-eyed Susans,

Prince and princess.

Other potted plants,

Are knee-high

Near the robes

Of royalty.

I feel

Like a bishop

Called to bless

This occasion

With a well-placed

Word or two,

A spoken song,

A poem.

Some poems

End with a punch,

A left, a right,

Then a roundhouse

To the head.

This poem ends

With the weeping

Of a willow.

Michael La Bombarda
