wrapped in shawl of green
inside me white queen
waiting
in shadows to glean
slate of rain - its sheen
blazing
bare earth - velveteen
the trees pink wild - scene
of ardor, i lean
where red, blue birds preen
shaking
feathers - so serene
spring sun slips between
waking
inside me, white queen
wrapped in shawl of green
Posted for dVerse Poets Pub - Lai and Lai Nouveau - Poetry form, hosted by Frank Hubeny. Pub doors open at 3pm EST. Poetry form is Lai Nouveau.
I like how you combined the two stanzas of your lai nouveau together by making them part of a single phrase.
ReplyDeleteI love the parallel between you and nature... I really feel a bit of blooming inside myself.
ReplyDeleteNature blooming from within is a win
ReplyDeleteI love both of yours, particularly the Cinderella. My comment went awry. But this one also shows the beauty you can create in the form. Blooming brilliant!
ReplyDeleteahh, this is so good, this form can be a straight jacket...but you got me at "velveteen/ the trees pink wild"
