Rumination

(Tetrameter Tercet in a rhyme scheme aba; with head rhymes and tail rhymes crisscrossing each other)


















Flowers dancing at my window
Blow, fragrant kisses in showers;
Hours on end I watch stems grow.

Sow the good seeds, they empower
Our mind to fling out that hoe;
Throw many thoughts upon the star.

Now, to mull is never bizarre;
Are you scratching a furrowed brow?
How long, before I cross that bar?

    Kia ora Paterika,
    I am typing away looking at my own garden outside my window, the Tui's sing and I smile.
    Aroha,
    Robb

    Hi Paterika! I haven't seen your name around in a while and when I saw it at Marja's blog, I thought I'd come over and say, "Hello!"

    I really like this poem. It has great visual imagery, but it's also thought-provoking too. I like the line, "Are you scratching a furrowed brow?" I find I do that a lot.

    Please stop in at Poetikat's for a visit.
