Keeper...Line Messaging Poetry

Poetic Bloomings invites us to attempt;   LINE MESSAGING poetry, the final line of each stanza may be compiled to create an entirely new poem with its own independent message (a poem within a poem).  It appears there are no rules for number of stanzas, or rhyme scheme.   This form was created by Angel Favazza.

Dusk flowers gently over field and hill

Blush pink washes the patch-work quilt of spring

A surge akin to prayer ignites within

The Keeper of each hour tunes the rill

Each season sheds its purpose on the earth

The seed will grow; the chaff be blown away

Love’s Hand sifts through our humbly offered fray

And fills our wanton efforts with His worth

We cannot know the reason of His will

But like each season, joy and sorrow pass

We strain to see beyond this darkened glass

Where mortal imperfections keenly spill

Spring is the season of hope and re-birth

With hand upon the plow we till the sod

Trusting its harvest to a loving God

His faithful eye is over all the earth

(Independent Message)

The Keeper of each hour tunes the rill

And fills our wanton efforts with His worth

Where mortal imperfections keenly spill

His faithful eye is over all the earth
