Sandra Adams Poet Quatern

Dusty Trail Quatern

on the edge of the dusty trail
i gather thoughts within my mind
from tired body aged and frail
a bit of strength i hope to find
 
i watch as sun escapes the sky
on the edge of the dusty trail
the way it bleeds catches my eye
scarlet red to a pink so pale
 
as darkness begins to entrail
beneath the moon my thoughts take plight
on the edge of the dusty trail
an illumination of light
 
a set of eyes within the tree
an owl spans wings and sets asail
his strength i find inside of me
on the edge of the dusty trail

Andrea Dietrich May 11, 2014 at 4:48 PM Oh, my, Sandy, this is your quatern!! thanks so much for trying my contest. I have not seen you write a form poem too often and you did beautifully. Was that a typo where you said, "my thoughts take plight"? I was thinking maybe you meant flight so I marked it down one lower for that. Congrats, my friend.

Richard Lamoureux May 2, 2014 at 9:19 AM Is this for Shadow's cowboy contest? If not it should be.

Mel Merrill May 2, 2014 at 3:09 AM Awesome Sandra. I haven't bothered to count, but I can tell by how it reads that you've followed an 8/8/8/8 all the way. Being a rhyme and meter guy, as you know, I luv it. Keep on girl Hugs ;-) Mel
