Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Quintain (English)

Lives We Have Printed

Lives We Have Printed
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Lives we have printed 
were written greatly with rhyming thrust.
When wreaths of laurels scented 
beguile the richest dreams with lust,
fragrance glorified bows to trust. 

Poetic form English Quintain: rhyme scheme a,b,a,b,b 
Written for Brian Strand’s Poet Laureate contest 
October 24, 2009
