John Watt Poet Monorhyme

To the Top

Trek poles wending
Peak ascending
Trail keeps bending
Effort spending
Gnats offending

Stormclouds rending
Cool rain sending
Flowers tending
Clean air lending
Sunshine trending

Now descending
Hikers blending
Smiles attending
All befriending
Hike soon ending

Sleep descending
Sweet dreams sending
Muscles mending
Smiles unending
Next hike? Pending!

Andrea Dietrich January 12, 2020 at 1:23 PM very very clever!!!! I love how the lines are all short ones too. Makes it enjoyable to read, which few monorhymes are!!! John Watt January 13, 2020 at 3:02 AM Turns out this rhyme had a lot of nice options that worked with the theme. Appreciate the kind words!
