    Poetry Challenge #45 – Rondelet – Whispered Words

    Okay, another week, and something new, again. I’m not sure if I got this one or not, but, I’ve had a good smash at it. Summer Storm was the theme, and the poem form is a rondelet, and the image is, below.

    I close my eyes,

    As the clouds move slowly in,

    I close my eyes,

    For I cannot watch her as she cries,

    Her tears begin to soak into my skin,

    Slowly washing away the remains of my sin,

    I close my eyes.

     

    Head over here to join in on the challenge, and view other participants works.

     

    What was I thinking here with this?

    Does it meet the challenge?

    These are questions, that we all want answer to, maybe this, quick short below will help.

     

    I fall to my knees, into the dirt,

    her blood, still over my hands,

    I hear the clap of thunder,

    how strange it would happen now,

    after I all that came before,

    I look up into the oncoming storm,

    and open my arms out wide,

    closing my eyes and embracing the cleansing of the storm.
