Notes About The Poem

Form: Fragmented Rhyme – created by Constance La France.

My Perfect Day

I came to a meadow dressed in flowers
            waving sprightly in the morning dawning.
Yellow buttercups, white Queen Anne’s towers,
purple asters, and red paintbrush spawning –
                        a showy resemblance to Jacob’s coat.
Unmoving, I watched the butterflies float
across them searching for the perfect throat.  
      Black-eyed Susan blinked her all-seeing eye.
            In awe, I released a prodigious sigh,
                        felt a cumulative one-with-God nigh.
Humbled by divine display of powers,
            I found myself in opulent fawning,
      my perfect day ending on a high note.
            My exuberant spirit flying high!
