A poem about the seasons. |
A Candidate/Group poem done for "Retired Founder, Rising Stars Program" with kerrimiller, Mare ~ extended hiatus, and Lostwordsmith. This is a ranga style poem, designed to be a collaborative project. Some of them are over a thousand lines long with a hundreds of poets working to create it. The format is unrhymed sets of 3 lines followed by 2 lines, then again 3 lines, 2 lines, etc. The syllables are 5-7-5, 7-7. The set of 3 lines helped create the popular style, haiku. Color key kerrimiller is in green, Mare ~ extended hiatus is in maroon, Lostwordsmith is in purple, and Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? is in blue. frigid air lifts snow dancing on midnight winds grass sways in moonlight Snowflakes fall like crystal coins Snowmen made with coal for eyes Gentle warm winds blow as budding fields of flowers long for April rain The first daffodils open And spring is finally here. Butterflies flutter Choosing their favorite spot. Humid air abounds Fireflies light hazy skies to the tune of a cricket's song. Autumn air settles Clearing out the summer heat. Snowbirds travel South. trees stand in sunset's gleam blackened trunks lacking their leaves |
