    The poem "Lyric 17" by Jose Garcia Villa describes the qualities a poem should possess. It states that a poem must be magical and musical like a sea gull, hold a bird's flowering in secret brightness as it moves. Additionally, a poem should be slender like a bell while holding fire, have the wisdom of bows, kneel like a rose, hear the luminance of dove and deer, hide what it seeks like a bride, and have God smiling from its cover.

    Lyric 17
    By José Garcia Villa - 1908-1997
    First, a poem must be magical,
    Then musical as a sea-gull.
    It must be a brightness moving
    And hold secret a bird’s flowering.
    It must be slender as a bell,
    And it must hold fire as well.
    It must have the wisdom of bows
    And it must kneel like a rose.
    It must be able to hear
    The luminance of dove and deer.
    It must be able to hide
    What it seeks, like a bride.
    And over all I would like to hover
    God, smiling from the poem’s cover.
