PAD Challenge day 24:
Closing in on the finish line of another April Poem-A-Day Challenge, so today I’m upping the stakes for anyone who wants an extra challenge!
Closing in on the finish line of another April Poem-A-Day Challenge, so today I’m upping the stakes for anyone who wants an extra challenge!
For today’s Two-for-Tuesday prompt:
- Write a roundelay. Guidelines here. Or…
- Write an anti-form poem.
Some snippets of spent May-day Hip-hoorays! (and my first attempt at writing a roundelay)
Ontario-ans are pinning their hopes on May for a big "hip-hip-hooray" when it comes to weather!
Earth dons a robe fit for a king
The orchard dons pink-petal gilt
The bud dons bloom where robins sing
The meadow-brook dons silver lilt
The heart dons hope once more as spring
Tucks winter ‘neath a flower-quilt
The bud dons bloom where robins sing
The meadow-brook dons silver lilt
The woodland’s lofty belfries ring
With hymns that broken bud-harps spilt
The heart dons hope once more as spring
Tucks winter ‘neath a flower-quilt
The woodland’s lofty belfries ring
With hymns that broken bud-harps spilt
Across the dross of death grace flings
A breath of life to dreams rebuilt
The heart dons hope once more as spring
Tucks winter ‘neath a flower-quilt
Across the dross of death grace flings
A breath of life to dreams rebuilt
Earth dons a robe fit for a king
The orchard dons pink-petal gilt
The heart dons hope once more as spring
Tucks winter ‘neath a flower-quilt
