Notes About The Poem

Trails

**Syllable counter checked, 5-7-5, 5-7-5, 5-7-5, 5-7-5, 5-7-5, 5-7-5

A brevity trails

of life's bounty, engaging

the elements nigh,

be they neath, be they

sides, be they all around, starts

of a summer June

saffron breaths of warmth, 

ochered until the leaves fall,

recalls September's

colorful hints tinged

orangey hues soften cools

an autumn breeze cease

harks December snows,

delight sprinkles of white dust

bouts colored lights,

until March begins

a greener spring, another

year starts a new trail.

Gershon Wolf June 5, 2019 at 6:07 PM This type of poem, glory be, is the type that is often selected as POTD---and you have penned it in yet another unusual format, the choka. ~ gw in Chic - AWE -go. William Kelii Kekaula June 5, 2019 at 6:38 PM When discovered, I've written such a form, 'FLAMES OF THE EVERGREEN' & 'LOKI'S FALL FROM AESIR', but gave it another format yet this be its truest form GW, Aloha William
