ESSENCE POEMS - A SEQUENCE

Essence Poems – A Sequence


 
She walked across the hill
He stalked the lady still.

l

He caught her in the  wood
Though fraught she understood.

 

She saw she could not hide
The door was open wide.

 

‘Yes do put out the light
It’s you and me tonight’.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The Essence poem, created by Emily Romano is a short, structured form of two-lines, six syllables each with an end rhyme and internal rhyme.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't initially intend that they should go together but as I wrote them they took on their own life hence I've put them together in a logical sequence. Hope you like them._________Plus one of my abstracts.

    I do like these two liners Michael, clever writing.

    Like the abstract - have you been at the Jackson Pollack again?

                Cool - both poem and picture Michael!

                  Thanks WBL - still not sure if it's one poem or four separate couplets which seem to follow a sort of common path - not that it matters.

                  Love the poem, but the paint is the winner for today.
