Puddle Club

On an early day in late spring,
as dragonflies dance and birds sing,
on top a dock where I've grown fond,
butterflies gather by the pond

Cattails sway in the morning breeze,
as do the crowns of nearby trees, 
this view I see the world beyond,
butterflies gather by the pond

As ripples in the water form,
and playful fish frolic in swarm,
without words we all correspond,
butterflies gather by the pond

On an early day in late spring,
butterflies gather by the pond.

A delightful read dear Shane and so well written with great flow - like gentle ripples upon the pond! You have executed this really well and it’s impressive for your first Kyrielle! Wonderful imagery and I love the refrain lines. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you :):)

Thank you, Christina. It was challenging form but a lot of fun, as well.

This is a wonderful Kyrielle Shane I really enjoyed it, I stopped by hoping to find a new poem. Have you been busy ? Edward has a new competition (hint hint) . I guess I will just be patient and wait. Best wishes Wen.

Wen! I hope you're well. Yes, I've been fairly busy the last few weeks. However, I plan to be able to sit down and commit some time to writing this weekend. I'm going to look into Edward's contest now.

A well-written Kyrielle, Shane. A very similar form to an 8 syllables per line sonnet. The poem fit the form well. Nice imagery and the poem had a nice rhythm to it. Great rhythming throughout. Have a great weekend! A poet in Texas, Bill
