Vignettes

I crave for them in weaves of light
And scan life’s vignettes on my mind
Their charmed love wraps me day and night

By the porch, his guitar sings bright
Relieving heart’s joys so entwined
I crave for them in weaves of light

My grandma's laughter soft and sprite
My grandpa's brown eyes, firm yet kind
Their charmed love wraps me day and night

Bedtime tales inspire fancy’s flight
Hide-and- seek thrills, now hard to find
I crave for them in weaves of light

They taught me to win, lose with might
Till frail trees sobbed with old age grind
Their charmed love wraps me day and night

Legacy of my heroes' blessed rite
Find me weaving past years all timed
I crave for them in weaves of light
Their charmed love wraps me day or night

Nette...I absolutely love this poem. I believe that shorter forms of poetry, especially those which adhere to strict syllable counts are the most difficult to write. You make it look easy and that is a credit to your talent. Brilliant work and congrats on an absolutely well deserved win. It is poems like this, that keep me motivated to continue my writing. Keep 'em coming because it is a pleasure to read works from someone who obviously knows what she's doing, and does it well.......S.Ronthorpe
