A Seicinque form poem |
My words erase and scrape, Visions of insight. Let all words take flight; Scatter aloft, light. I paint a word landscape, Visions of insight. Let all words take flight In colors tonight. Letters fall and escape Visions of insight. Let all words take flight; Leave my blank page white. Magic muse sculpts to shape Visions of insight. Let all words take flight; Dance high, muse delight. tuc 12/2/2017 ____________________________________________ Entry: December 1, 2017 For: The Poet's Place Cafe Form:The Seicinque is a quatrain (four-line stanza) form invented by Linda Pentney.
