Notes About The Poem

[a classical rondel shown here as "rhyme" because rondel is not listed as a type of
poetry]

 

Faith Flies To This Heaving Breast

Faith flies to this heaving breast in sorrows,
Strengthening its hope for brighter days
Will take up the position of valorous ways,
Prepare the journey for brighter tomorrows

Wise the soul that seldom trouble borrows,
Knows the residence where value stays,
Faith flies to this heaving breast in sorrows
Strengthening its hope for brighter days.

Consider how the distant horizon narrows
The future far, far ahead and dimly lays
Down the path where the lone shadow plays
Among the waiting straight plowed harrows,
Faith flies to this heaving breast in sorrows.

Caren Krutsinger August 30, 2021 at 6:37 PM What a gorgeous repetitive poem - especially this line "Faith flies to this heaving breast in sorrows." L Milton Hankins August 30, 2021 at 7:24 PM I wrote it for an AP contest, and when I got back to AP the contest had ended. Oh, well.....

Delice Arleen Skelly August 30, 2021 at 8:18 AM You’ve navigated this rondel perfectly…Delice. L Milton Hankins August 30, 2021 at 8:57 AM Thanks, Delice. It was quite an adventure. I wrote it for a contest on another site and by the time I got to the contest to enter it the contest was over! My luck!
