Kai Michael Neumann Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

This is written for a contest with the theme 'My Shoes'. I entered it as free verse, though it is really a pleiades poetry, which I could not find under the rubric poetry forms. Maybe the soup can list that form in the future.

One word title followed by single seven line stanza, each line starting with the first letter of the title.

 

Shoes

Shoes

Support me on heavy sunken soil

Sanctify my journey’s secret solace

Save me from blistered scarred sorrow

Show my give and take in solemn stride

Sound the creaks and creeks of soft sojourn

Stipulate lunar sun-crested salvation on that

Shoestring of love passion sandalwood serenity
