Three Poems by Angel Edwards

 

Mozart’s button 

 

European estate 

button was found 

button was made  

of yellow gold 

minuscule  

magnificent  

smooth round 

soothing to hold 

 

Mythology appearing 

then glibly did claim 

button was  

from a coat  

bearing  

a  

Mozart name 

 

button was  

a family chattel 

not thought  

valuable enough 

to sell 

yet sentimental  

historical  

 

button was a lucky charm 

talisman 

keeping   

away  

harm

KING LOUIS THE GLORIOUS SUN  King

Louis the glorious sun 

king rock star

original sunny days speaker

in the palace of gold

King Louis wallowed 

luxury lavish lush over praised

while basic livelihood 

became out of reach

out of touch 

with the ordinary low strung 

living in his own

precious orbit

his subjects starving

oblivious to it

theatrical throned playwright

star producer brilliance

up staging anything important

his every move

observed applauded

absurd live entertainment

assured pageant 

netflix of centuries ago

King Louis the bright sun king

rock star zillionaire 

ownership entitlement surpassing measure

Versailles veritable treasure

Summer's End

In the final sigh  

of summers end 

Always  

if summers not leaving 

Now stays 

 

can you promise she’ll be home soon 

to see summer again 

 

autumn peers dreamy to afar 

fall breeze trails after 

gold and red leaves  

carpet the ground 

 

winter waiting in the wings 

silver snow promise brings 

shadows embossed in whites and blues 

winter nights comfortings
