Scrapbook

Crowd of entertainment, chapeaux and gowns, of Renoirs,** not unlike the expansive midnight sky brimming with stars. Capture of long ago memories, like lightning bugs in jars. Knee deep, flood high - boxes of snapshots…our memoirs. Whimsical caricature of a lifetime - chameleon avatars. Oft’ one changes seasons capriciously, jumping boxcars. Fading into the sun and moon - visible and ultraviolet scars. The Johari window opens and shuts - scrapbook is all ours.* Perspective of us, composite flashing blades, spars. ‘til we are bathed in heavenly light, much of us behind bars. 10/6/2022 SINGLE STANZA MONORHYME Sponsor - L Milton Hankins Used rhymezone *Johari Window has four quadrants. 1) Our “open book” we share with everyone 2) Things we know but hide from others 3) Our blind self - what others see but we do not 4) Things hidden from both us and others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window **chapeaux - hats

This is so lovely and your monorhyme scheme seems like it would be difficult to compose.
