Rejuvination
Evening tiptoes
stealthily flows,
surrounds with prose,
for ears that seek
her graceful lows,
flowers that close,
a final pose,
a last critique;
a cabaret,
of varied gay
and grand bouquets
swaying goodnight
until next day
in full array,
like potter's clay,
a new delight!

This is for Imaginary Garden with Real Toad's "Sunday Mini-Challenge - Cyhydedd Hir"
Yes, Unpronounceable, (cuh-hee-dedd-heer) and almost impossible for me to do.
For those interested, the rhyming pattern and syllable count (19 repeated four times) is: xxxbxxxbxxxbxxxA (repeat) xxxcxxxcxxxcxxxD (repeat) Oh, at least I think this is correct!
"like potter's clay,
ReplyDeletea new delight!"
I really like that. This flows beautifully.
So beautifully done, Margaret. A lovely write.

Lovely ;)
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, I like the way it sounds, Margaret, and I love the adirondack chairs in silhouette.
ReplyDeleteThis is splendid. Each stanza conjured up fresh imagery - it was such a delight to read.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty musical poem. k.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, and it makes me want to bring out some potter's clay!
ReplyDeleteRhyme words that sound the same but with different spelling always intrigue me, like critique and seek, bouquets and clay. Nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat cyhydedd hir! I really like composing this poem, don't you? Of course, I've only done one :)
ReplyDeleteBut will have to start another while the form is fresh in my mind.
Like most of your poetry, margaret this is supremely visual, placing us in the middle of the scene. The ending two stanzas, especially, are very effective. Enjoyed it(and the photo, that goes without saying.)
ReplyDeleteLove the rhythm and flow of this. So vivid as well, can just see the images streaming through my mind. Wonderful!!
ReplyDeletelike potter's clay! very nice.
