Introduction:

The poem “Bonsai” by Edith Tiempo is about love

and how people imbue certain objects with love for a
person, and those objects become the symbol of
love. 
All that I love
I fold over once
And once again
And keep in a box
Or a slit in a hollow post
Or in my shoe
All that I love?
Why, yes but for the moment-
And for all time, both.
Something that folds and keeps easy,
Son’s note, or Dad’s one gaudy tie,
A roto picture of a young queen
A blue Indian shawl, even
A money bill.
It’s utter sublimation,
A feat, this heart’s control
Moment to moment
To scale all love down
To a cupped hand’s size.
Till seashells are broken
pieces
From God’s own bright teeth,
All life and love are real
Things you can run and
Breathless hand over
To the merest child.

All the small things being done

or given to us are also acts of
true love.
SUMMARY
Life Application

The poem was entitled “Bonsai”

because one loves just as something
that could be kept much like a
bonsai. This poem, Bonsai, is about
how love is simplified and reduced so
that one can give it out to others.
