BINDING VOWS

Michael Edwards

 

 

BINDING VOWS

 

Hooded.

Wooded.

Seeing.

Fleeing.

He once had planted the binding vows

and now sought passage through sweeping boughs.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This one is a Tyburn - yet another new form for me - I enjoy these short ones just playing with words. Also a break from my own tradition today, and especially for WriteBeLight, a photo of a corner of my garden taken last June - it's a wall-enclosed garden as many are in the villages - I'll post another in the coming week.

    Good write.

    Would you like to come and sort my garden out? I intend to go to battle today with my pyrocantha!!

    Very good, but comes with a definite air of menace.
    You reaped what you sowed, big time.

      Wow! I have chills. What a beautiful picture and so kind of you to note me in your Author's comment. I am so jealous. I will try to do the same and take a picture of our garden, once we can get out there. Right now there is still some snow. Nice poem to accompany such a beautiful garden Michael. So, so green and lush!! Thanks!!!
