FLAKES FALL

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

FLAKES FALL 

 

As snow flakes fall

Reflecting moon-lit silvery glow

As snow flakes fall

In cold response to winters call

From night times skies descending slow

A covering of winter snow

As snow flakes fall.

 

 

 

 

 

The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet

with two rhymes and one refrain: AbAabbA. The capital

letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in

4 syllables (tetra-syllabic) or 4 syllables with two feet (dimeter)

and the other lines are twice as long – 8 syllables.

    May they only be seen where they should be, in photographs or on cards.
    Good write Michael.

    • Michael Edwards

      A time and place for everything - thanks Andy

      I agree with you and Gold M. We saw literally a few flakes in Jan and Feb.
      I wish we could say 'What is snow?' cos of it being conspicuous by its absence.

      • Michael Edwards

        If you want to see flakes go and see Dan Druff.

        A fine write there M. I tend to stay with 'simpler' stuff, with me syllables and metres!

        • Michael Edwards

          I'm a simple sole really and I can't even sing.

        • Lorna

          Just right Michael and your beautiful blue sky (what I see?) defies the snow.........

          • Michael Edwards

            It was the nearest I could find - blue representing the cold. thanks Lorna.

            Michael,
            A masterpiece by the
            Master! Out of this world...
            actually up in the sky...
            I love the cool blue
            celestial colors of your
            painting! Magnifico Maestro!
            The Rondelet...magnifique!!

              Thanks for your encouragement Laura - think I'll post something light hearted tomorrow - Sundays tend to be a bit 'heavy' here on MPS. Must hurry though as the clocks go forward by an hour at midnight here in the UK.

              • Laura🌻

                Happy dreams!😴

              • orchidee

                You seen Mr Druff lately?!

                • Michael Edwards

                  I've been combing the town and can't find him anywhere.

                  As snow flakes fall
                  Children bawl
                  Mother hit the wall
                  Old Folk fall
                  Teenagers have a BALL
                  As snow flakes fall !

                  Love the snowy abstract
                  and the Poetic Form
                  and the POEM

                  Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN

                    Cheers Brian - let's hope it's all behind us till next winter.
