Frederic Parker Poet Rhyme

Timeless Motion Constanza

Timeless motion from sea and land
curious men who came before
who crossed the lands to find the shore

They left footprints they traced in sand
that washed away with pulling tide
with their motion of forward stride 

From caves with walls of ochre hand
their red imprint became stained stone
from ancient worlds of skins and bone

To great forests and meadowland
across vast seas where they explore
they found new worlds not seen before

To plant a flag where they command
and make a plan to travel space
one day they'll need to leave this place

Timeless motion from sea and land
To leave footprints they traced in sand
From caves with walls of ochre hand
To great forests and meadowland
To plant a flag where they command

Line Gauthier November 16, 2017 at 6:49 PM Very successful imagery. Well done, Frederic.

Lin Lane November 16, 2017 at 5:30 PM Bravo, Frederic. I won't be entering this contest, but I'm interested in trying Connie's form. Your string of tercets is so much better than the example given for the contest...My best wishes for you.

Heidi Sands November 16, 2017 at 2:41 PM Excellent Frederic. I like how you put the lines together with this one and the rhyming too :)

Jan Allison November 16, 2017 at 10:52 AM What a fabulous tale you tell from the dawn of time to the future. I love the imagery and flow in your poem. The style with the repeated line reminds me of a pantoum which i love writing so i may be tempted to dip my pen in and have a try:-) good luck in the contest Frederic:-) hugs jan xx
