What Will Tomorrow Bring

Tomorrow brings the blue bird's song
Hand painted clouds at sunrise
Hummingbirds humming over red bee balm
Bumblebees buzzing with butterflies

Hand painted clouds at sunrise
That very first smile of the day
Bumblebees buzzing with butterflies
Laughing at work and at play

That very first smile of the day
My lungs filled with fresh morning air
Laughing at work and at play
A moment for silent prayer

My lungs filled with fresh morning air
Hummingbirds humming over red bee balm
A moment for silent prayer
Tomorrow brings the blue bird's song

Paul Callus Date: 6/13/2017 7:43:00 AM I believe I haven't tackled a Pantoum yet, Danny, so I am at a loss re syllable count (if there is a rule about it). Otherwise, the poem itself is a delight to read...the images outstanding...the serene feeling most welcome, and the repetition works well. ~ Regards // paul Login to Reply Daniel Turner Date: 6/13/2017 8:21:00 AM Paul, I read about them before trying to write one. I have yet to find anything regarding syllable count. Thank you so much for stopping by to read and comment. Have a great day/week:)
