Chetta Achara Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Slant Rhymes (sometimes called imperfect, partial, near, oblique, off etc.) are rhymes in which two words share just a vowel sound (assonance – e.g. “heart” and “star”) or in which they share just a consonant sound (consonance – e.g. “milk” and “walk”). ~see Types of Rhyme @dailywritingtips.com

Is That Your Voice I Hear

Is that your voice I hear
or is it just the cooing of the doves
on this misty morning air?

The sound is barely there
as if from muffled tongues, 
or shuttered by death's door.

Your absence leaves a scar~
memories are merely crumbs
leading only to grief's bower.
