FJ Thomas Poet Rictameter

Notes About The Poem

Author's Note: With the Rictameter I found differing sites gave differing information regarding the first line as far as it having to be one word, but all agreed it was two syllables.

Season of Tears

She weeps
as the winds whip.
The weary woman waits,
wishing winter's wrath would weaken,
wondering when winsome weather might wake.
Then warm rains wipe her wintry wounds
as wisps of life weave tint.
Welcoming Spring,
she weeps.

Juliet Ligon January 19, 2023 at 10:16 AM I like how "she weeps" has different meanings in the beginning and at the end, weeping with weariness vs. weeping with joy. Great job on weaving all the w's together into something that makes sense. FJ Thomas January 20, 2023 at 10:27 AM Thank you Juliet. I'm glad you recognized the difference in emotion there. I have been trying to get things together for a short trip but I am hoping to be back on this afternoon :)
