Juliet Ligon Poet Pantoum

Fireworks

Like heartbeats emitted into the sky
attune to songs of freedom, so dances dynamite.
Emotive blooms burst forth to magnify
a cascading canopy of spotlight.

Attune to songs of freedom, so dances dynamite
upon a blackboard sky, smoke like smudged chalk.
A cascading canopy of spotlight
renews like forgiveness each turn of the clock.

Upon a blackboard sky, smoke like smudged chalk,
sporadic messages trickle to earth,
renewed like forgiveness each turn of the clock
just as forgiveness empowers rebirth.

Sporadic messages trickle to earth
like heartbeats emitted into the sky.
Just as forgiveness empowers rebirth,
emotive blooms burst forth to magnify.

Eve Roper February 28, 2021 at 12:35 PM Great Rhyming Pantoum , Juliet. I went back to check my contest and the only reason you didn't make it in my contest is because the of the uneven lines, besides that it is great. I am glad to see it on Line's contest. Congratulations on your win . Hugs Eve Juliet Ligon February 28, 2021 at 2:53 PM It's difficult for me to follow rules so I completely understand why it was disqualified from your contest. Thanks for your inspiration and kind comments.

Jan Allison January 1, 2021 at 2:48 PM your imagery certainly has brightened my evening juliet i especially like the 3rd stanza and the blackboard sky and smoky like chalk:-) hugs jan xx Juliet Ligon January 3, 2021 at 11:36 AM I appreciate your kind feedback, Jan. I tried to make this 3 stanzas, but it made no sense, so I added a forth. It will probably be disqualified from the contest, but I'm always happy to be inspired by others regardless.
