Lighthouses

I’m standing solemnly contemplating How ageing lighthouses independents Have become Maritimes normality With beacons becoming statutory Now standing shimmering silhouetted You’re shining flawlessly undemanding The hopeful monument oblivious To seamen’s abounding adorations Written by Brenda Meier-Hans 09.22.2014 Contest: The Lighthouse Nette Onclaud 7th

Considering how difficult and restrictive this style is. I can not believe how well this poem flows. Bravo! I think I will go back and do some more re-writes to mine. You have inspired me. Excellent write Brenda.
