"I See" Form of the Week CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme

I See

Images of beauty and horror display before my eyes.
I revel in the allure of lines and color in the guise
of hillsides, meadows, oceans and creeks, all manner of delights
in daytime as well as the dark mystery of moonless nights.
In contrast destructive forces blight my vision with offensive
spectacles serving as a warning to beware, defensive,
avoiding danger or to be proactive, comprehensive
to prevent more future occurrences, attempts to be wise.
Whether fireflies in flight or carnage born of brutal frights,
I cherish the gift of sight, an extraordinary missive.
