For Thine Morrows…27 09-2k12

Rating: 4.5


Which the city
upon which ye soar
what the plaque
upon thy door

What the sands
that glitter thine shore
how thine canoes
the tide explore

Heavenly strings
that hold ye aloft
and earthly bonds
that mould ye soft

what the winds
that billow thine sails
whose the smile
that never fails

Which the tomes
that hold thine eye
which the tales
that make thee sigh

What thy visions
for thine morrows
whence the morns
that slake thine sorrows

A layered composition...in abcb rhyming mode... can be read on pulse...mild, light and lucid... a welcome break...from the oft-written couplets.... enjoyed it :)
