Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Contest: Meraki: Sponsor: Silent One
Placed 3rd © 21st December 2017

Meraki: A Labour of Love

Intense my heartbeat at the break of day
Be it the hues that mingle in the sky
Or clustered clouds that keep the sun at bay
The moment’s pleasure sends my spirits high.

Inhaling deeply, fragrance in the air,
My soul uplifted and with passion fed
In heat of ardour, my emotions bare,
With enthusiasm plan the work ahead.
