Rhoda Tripp Poet Sonnet

Notice the Pieces

Gander your gazes not afar mountain
like a fool that searches the distinct
Youth that have uncovered a fountain
pen poetry and prose not succinct

When you blue drip only foam oceans
You’ll dismiss the pollywogs in ponds
No fancy hocus pocus nor potions
rather a palm tree for its fronds

Those who seek but a fraction of whole
dig tiny granules that unearth the real
The wise view not a saddened soul
rather each impurity that made it feel

Responsibility is cradled in unbottled ink
Smattering small pieces that make one think

Tom Cunningham June 10, 2018 at 9:22 PM Loved it Rhoda, have been away a lot of late and missed this gem, I've tried a few sonnets of late, maybe not Shakespeare lol. But I like to try new things. Great message in yours. Tom Rhoda Tripp June 13, 2018 at 7:37 AM Thank you, Tom for your support and comments. I will check out your sonnets. You are a cherished friend and awesome writer.

John Gondolf June 2, 2018 at 9:01 AM Nicely penned, Rhoda, inspiration can come from the smallest of places, a good message that we sometimes forget. John Rhoda Tripp June 3, 2018 at 3:52 PM Thank you, John, for your support.
