This Moment by Lauren McBride

This Moment
by
Lauren McBride

Sitting beside my garden,
the bills on my lap      forgotten,
    porch
                              swing
              slow
                      ing;
too busy this moment
watching bees and butterflies
trading flowers.

Like the way the shape of the poem adds to the subject of the poem.

One of the few "modern" poems that actually seems to work. Thank goodness.
