From December to April, this blog and I have remained silent, whilst all around the pandemic has raged , regardless.
Perhaps it was the sunshine that prompted me to post today. Who knows? But rather than creating something new, I'm copying a few lines I originally wrote on Alias Jinksy, but they are missing a title. Perhaps any Napple Notes reader who may wander by, could supply one for me? But I shan't be holding my breath, for wanderers may be scarce, hehehe...
Capricious forces conjure sun and rain
into eternal conflict. Dark lords and bright
wage their wars, as moon-tides wax and wane
throughout the universe's star-drenched night,
until, by morning, rotund Earth's revolved
in deference to laws decreed long since.
Then sun-flamed beams put shadow-clouds to flight,
their unshed tears like morning mists dissolved,
as Helios, our hero, on his plinth
stands proud, the great defender of the light.
Sprightly Wanderings
ReplyDeleteHello, oh sprightly Blogpal of tenacious mien! :-) ♥ xx
DeleteThe best I can come up with is 24/7/365, sorry.
ReplyDeleteSlight correction: In line 3, wain should be wane.
I encourage you to expand these lines into a Petrarchan sonnet, 14 lines of iambic pentameter with the rhyme scheme ABAB ABAB CDECDE
All you would need are four more ABAB lines.
Thanks for the tip off edit, RWP. :-)
DeleteI think it's a bit late to try for four more lines, as it's my bed time now and boy, do I need some beauty sleep. LOL. But come the morning, I'll give it a go.
