WALL emblem form after George Herbert

Emblem-The Church Wall


Look there,do you see the wall of red brick
          each upon the other:
            leans with great care.

One joined evenly next to the other
           bonded together in
           equality:

Participating in their purposes
          combining ,each their strengths
          the load to share:

Weathered with the storms of life on its face
           enduring through
           eternity:

Very nice, Brian. I just saw your blog. I had not even known it was there until just today. I can't really think of an unusual poetry form I tried to mimic. Does something like the Jabborwack count? By the way, thanks for my recent contest placements.
