Line Gauthier Poet Rondeau

Clouds At Her Feet

Clouds at her feet, she hangs her head
Thinking she should have stayed in bed
Days into nights just one big blur
Masking effects of hard liquor

As dusk gives way to stars of dread
In an effort to block what’s said
Before last fantasies are dead
Dream being an adventurer
Clouds at her feet

Feelings of joy have all but fled
She’d have to overcome this dread
Rekindle passions deep that stir
Ignite embers that do recur 
Take flight and soar full speed ahead
Clouds at her feet

Sand Blown July 28, 2018 at 9:23 PM better to have clouds at your feet than over your head : ) Line Gauthier July 28, 2018 at 9:26 PM You must be talking about rain clouds. LOL
