Notes About The Poem

Image result for woman on a porch

My Sanctuary

The porch is wrapped in glittered shroud 
As windows teeter in the breeze
 Here, only bright sighs are allowed 
Across panes, hour's gentlesr breeze.
While toileLike shuffles of a weary tree.

Dim lanterns cut through brightened shade 
With moonlight glowing starlit white
 And blossoms petals... inter-laid 
In meditation, I find light.

Nette, I delayed posting winners for this contest because I was hoping you would read the blogs or contest updates that specified the ABABABCC rhyme scheme. Although you chose a rhyme that is acceptable for Rispettos, it is not the one I had stipulated. Your poem is sooo lovely, dear. It was very difficult for me to judge this contest because contestants wrote so many incredibly beautiful poems. Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn
