Ebb and Flow

by Nancy Jones

Verse
eludes.
Fickle muse
transient, coy,
darting 'twixt shadows 'tween triumph and sorrow.

Lyric disclosure she alone bestows
tho oft piercing
pain resolved
cues her
song.

For Michael J Fallotico's contest,
"Where Your Poetry Comes From"

Hi, Nancy. A sweet Tetractys! Pain resolved cues her song, such a cool way to describe where your poems come from!!

Nancy, just wonderful. Loved the ideas used, the 'chase', so to speak. Hide and seek! I love the rhymes, as well. As I was saying to another poet, I am beginning to feel sorry for Michael. There are lots of gems to choose from and yours is certainly worthy of first place! Best of wishes in the contest though I'm certain you'll place high! :-) Cyndi
