Rob Chavez

 as a connoisseur

of the kind

and the pure

I hope you’ll appreciate

the Scarlet Begonias

for their percolating motion

            spinning on the land

            tiptoeing on the ocean

            a poetry of devotion

If my hands held a gift

Like the magi was I

Led by the star

that shines for all

no distance too far

it would be these

simple poems
