Y// Lying On My Back Poem by Aufie Zophy
Y// Lying On My Back
When I lie on my back in a lazy chair,
below the branches of casuarina in the air,
and the bouquet of leaves on top a coconut tree,
I refuse to close my eyes,
‘cause the enticing blue skies,
with single white clouds passing by
are playing a supernatural game with the greenery.
(cont.) by/greenery is NOT what i call a perfect rhyme. i strive for perfect rhymes' in almost all of my poems. But I LIKE that you did not bother to search for a 'perfect' rhyme. i feel that some (other poets') poems are damaged when poets try too hard to rhyme, AND they succeed; i'd much rather have no rhyming if rhyming damages a poem. bri :) time to look out the window at the clouds. ah ha! there is one now!
from Google: Did you know: Casuarina*** produces individual male and female flowers on the same (monoecious) or separate trees (dioecious) , depending on the species. [there was no? ] and NO I DID NOT KNOW! *** called rhu in current standard Malay. to MyPoemList. no 'smell' in this poem. :) (cont.)
A poet and nature are inseparable. Poets imagination hovers around nature. Nice poem. Thanks for sharing.
