Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Idyllic

Written: July 26, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Constance La France 
Quote: "Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults." by Rumi

         ****************

The oak tree is lit up with spots of light,
Leaves bend and spin in a zephyr cloak sprite.
My head is full of hope-related views,
A hushed cobalt lake has stone toes in hues.

Sun shines brightly through rods of flaxen flame,
A buzz surrounds—no day's inklings will maim.
I grasp long-buried schemes from this staid trunk,
And draw the seams of broken dreams in bunk.

A bird's wings are knotted as it flies low,
Swans soar on a green world lit by pearl glow.
