Translucent Pearl
A single translucent pearl,
drifts down a wizened cheek,
from eyes where dreams still swirl.
In a body weak with age,
The mind paces it's cage.
As memories still speak,
a single translucent pearl,
drifts down a wizened cheek.
The bloom of youth long gone,
yet remembered is its song.
From eyes where dreams still swirl,
as memories still speak.
A single translucent pearl,
drifts down a wizened cheek.
***Inspired by Dr. Ram, with his introducing
the Sonnetina Respetto.
I interpreted the line and rhyme scheme
as such:
A1,A2,B1,c,c,B2,A1,A2,d,d,B1,B2,A1,A2
A1,A2,B1,B2 are refrain lines
then: 1,2,c,d are rhyme scheme.
I realize my interpretation is wrong
from the original created form.
This is but my interpretation.
