The Grahamburglar Poet Monorhyme

Summer Carousel

Overlooking from the hill, an ancient water well
casts a muted shadow bound in sunset’s wondrous spell.
Gold etched emeralds wave goodnight, across the sylvan dell
while mysterious lullabies of songbirds sound the knell. 

The venerable old scarecrow from his pike knows all too well;
the secrets whispered by the trees, but he will never tell.
Tranquility of newborn night, so beautiful and frail, 
comes around, and goes around, the summer carousel.

Edlynn Nau May 15, 2016 at 2:45 AM Oh my stars! This is just breathtaking and should have a hundred comments. I read it three times; not b/c it is difficult to read but because, like music, we always sing again the beautiful or meaningful. This is a 7 plus! LOVED IT!
