Lipogram Poetry Contest for Emile Pinet (omitted A)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gentle, these hues of cerise, indigo Feelings blended with stirrings of pine trees, Silent winds, trembling light will softly glow, Silhouettes so kind flowing in the breeze. Feelings blended with stirrings of pine trees, Wistful moods, rousing fires with nervous wings Silhouettes so kind flowing in the breeze. Just delighted by the joy this gust brings. Wistful moods, rousing fires with nervous wings Smiling from the soul, such gentle belief Just delighted by the joy this gust brings. Forests whisper to the mind seized by grief Smiling from the soul, such gentle belief Doomed to feel like the pensive storm, so strong Forests whisper to the mind seized by grief Little mercies moving lives with bright song Doomed to feel like the pensive storm, so strong Glimpses of truth in worship from God’s friends Little mercies moving lives with bright song This is love on which our bounty depends Glimpses of truth in worship from God’s friends Muses brought to life by blessings from Him This is love on which our bounty depends Beyond this subtle light, like a soft hymn Muses brought to life by blessings from Him Silent winds, trembling light will softly glow, Beyond this subtle light, like a soft hymn Gentle, these hues of cerise, indigo

You do pantoums so well my friend.. as always each verse and stanza flows and rhymes so well.. the art of a good pantoum is how all the verses come together, especially the last stanza and you have done it very well...
