Composer asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 4 years ago

Can help me find the author of this poem? It is called "The Minimalist" and the first line is like "I imagine living my life on a leaf".?

(I know it is a contemporary American poet.) I am kinda paraphrasing the first line, but it is similar to that.

    Its possible you have the wrong title.

    There is poetry called "minimal".

    Edna St. Vincent Millay

    The Leaf And The Tree

    When will you learn, myself, to be

    a dying leaf on a living tree?

    Libraries have a book that's an index of first lines of poetry. I'm not finding it online, so you may need to visit the library to access it in the reference section.

    I'm not finding a poem with that title, I'm afraid. Of course, the internet may not have every poem, right?
