April's Tow
Before we get to the poem, "April's
Tow", let me tell you
about it: This
poem is made up of consecutive 3 and 4
syllable lines,
with a triple rhyme scheme-containing a
double verse
link. I have never read, written, or
even heard of
a more complicated
poem than this, but somehow it still
reads well. I
hope you enjoy it. Obviously, it's very
fast.
April's Tow:
Innocence,
With
confidence,
Some myst'ry
And flowing
sweet.
Elating,
Elevating,
So simply
Standing
complete.
And now she
Has smiled at
me;
Alas, this
Angel has
dared:
Her action,
My attraction
This strong
bliss
Should not be
spared.
I will walk
Toward and talk
To a breeze
Of April's
tow;
Disappeared,
'Round corner
veered
Moment seized
For her, I go.
My words will
The fresh air
fill;
Eyebrows
raised,
She will see
clear;
To follow, try
'Round corner
I
Stand amazed;
No one is
here.
