Poet Analysis

First Line: PAULA IS DIGGING AND SHAPING THE LOAM OF A SALVIA
Last Line: AND FLUFF OF WHITE FROM A COTTONWOOD.

PAULA is digging and shaping the loam of a salvia,
Scarlet Chinese talker of summer.
Two petals of crabapple blossom blow fallen in Paula's hair,
And fluff of white from a cottonwood.
