Gift


photo taken by Petrina Lesko
Delicate purple lines crowning cones,
Lace wrapped petals bursting in bloom,
Standing tall modelling height,
Talents acquired within,
Bestowed upon and
for your delight.
A Mother
Nature's
Gift.

Over at One Stop Poetry, today is Form Monday.  Gay has introduced us to Corbie Sinclair for a lesson on the Nonet.  'In writing it involves a poem with a total of nine lines. The first line must have nine syllables, second line eight syllables, third line seven syllables and so on until you end with one syllable. It has a ABCDEFGHI or alpha numerical form, so each line is a different ending word. The corresponding syllables are 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.'    This is my first attempt at this form and I found it rather challenging.  Stop over and give it a whirl.
