Formalism Approach Bonsai By Edith tiempoEdith Tiempos masterpiece, Bonsai, reveals  a not so ordinary kind of love, but rather, it is a kind of love that is scaled down to a cupped hands size. A poem of love and how human intend to represent their love for a person thru objects and thus it becomes their ideal symbol of love. The poem begins by securing and keeping things that she holds close to her heart by folding it or decreasing it. On the other hand, the second stanza goes where she started questioning how grateful she feels when shes able to keep these earhtly non-living objects. The questioning part lead to the stanza saying “Till seashells are broken pieces From God’s own bright teeth, And life and love are real Things you can run and Breathless hand over To the merest child”, where she pleads people to learn how to part things that they have to those who have less or none. The poems profoundness is a both  sense of materialism and the real idea of love. Bonsai was just a bundle of more than what idolizing and keeping material things can make us question ourselves. The deepness rather make the general question of what we want to cling on to and how we may and unsettle our lives. These significant objects are indeed effortless to keep and thus becomes the keeper of memories and the love we hold for someone. Because objects are tactile and constant in form,it becomes a physical indication of love.  The fact that time flies and goes and love experienced itself may wither, these palpable objects will always and will be the same. On the grounds of them, Edith is sure that love will lasts until the heavenly body come to an end.
