Lycia Harding Poet Monorhyme

Hollys' Dawn

At dawn, a secret shadow tries 
to catch a glint of sea's surprise
when daybreak sheds her dim disguise
and, silent, signals sun to rise

Then arctic moods and murky eyes
grow warm, glow bright as morning ties
her silken, silver water prize
with strands of sand to gentle skies...

Skat A July 26, 2015 at 4:33 PM Lycia, Congratulations on Your Best Poem #2 win. **SKAT** Lycia Harding July 27, 2015 at 10:10 AM Thank you, SKAT. Hmm... "SKAT". That's a pretty easy word to rhyme, isn't it? And you've been so attentive and supportive lately. Yeah. I think I feel my next tribute limerick comin' on...

Andrea Dietrich May 26, 2015 at 3:49 PM this is nice, but it's not free verse. You should put it as rhyme! even better, it is monorhyme!! Lycia Harding May 26, 2015 at 6:08 PM Thank you Andrea, I just wasn't sure and that sounded like a catch all. I've changed it now but thanks for the advice and keep those helpful hints a comin'!
