Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

back to the stars

I’d like to share this as a challenge to any who would like to try, as it can be read as a RHYME in five ways: #1 - left-to-right, top-to-bottom; #2 - right-to-left, bottom-to-top; #3 - left-to-right, bottom-to-top; #4 - alternating right-to-left, then left-to-right from top-down; #5 - alternating the same way from bottom-up.

!abeam there float
          bright shiny stars
               gleam and bloat
     Venus with Mars

dancing forever
          they are eternal
               entrancing, clever
     brilliant and vernal

night is yawning
          voided and dark
               bright day dawning
     flames to spark

soon close eyes
          sleep to scheme
               moon with skies
     blink and dream!






( This is a lullaby inspired by Eugene Field’s “Wynken, Blynken and Nod” )
