Sonnet 877
“A Hint Of Disorder”
No matter the practised cunning her outfit she selects
Tall lace-up boots and a Yoko Ono skirt
Her body only wakes what idle colours cannot state
As sleeping moss upon a sapling sweet beauty takes
And then the morning make-up she applies
Simply completes what a breathing mirror belies
And though something in her attire's still adrift
A button out of place or a lock amiss
A hint of disorder is but her beauty's emphasis
And when she quotes for Costco a shopping list:
“Norway cheese, sunflower seeds for jays and quail,
And ice cream for my treat”
I hear someone reciting a sonnet: a Rosalind or a Beatrice
As dancing eyes betray her soliloquy
But when I look at her its for the first time it seems
And when we make love its that way too
By John Edwards
