Debbie Guzzi Poet Quatrain

The Peacock's Pall /Avebury Churhyard, Enland Uk

Round goes the spiral
looping the path.
Straight stand the stones
high in green grass.

Round goes the moat
circling the tor;
solitary stanchion saracens
high altars they bore.

Round goes the blood
red twining the past
tall stand the grave stones
memories n’er made to last.

Round goes the gate
in the churchyards mall
through walks the sacred
peacocks ashen white pall.

Round go the penitents
lead through the hatch
lonesome lost lifetimes 
Avebury’s dispatch.

Sharon Winter April 9, 2009 at 6:39 AM The third verse really gets to me. I am thinking this place had a profound effect on you or someone you know is there. The 'round goes' makes me think of cycle of life, and death. Awesome write. Love, Shar

Denis Joe April 9, 2009 at 3:09 AM A great poem. it has the feel of a nursery rhyme but it is far from being that. The language has a simplicity to it that belies the theme. I think that the repitition of 'Round go' is excellent. Giving the poem a playful feel but also anchoring it to the flow of the poem.
