Le Poéme

Enchanted

Adrift a swirl of clouds

Torn by thorns

Reformed by the wind

The subtle whistle

Of the strong breeze

Whips around thistle and quill

Bending not breaking

Cattails and lilies

Pasture and paddock

The smell of spring

Skipping to autumn

Carries over the tips of trees

And sprinkles down

Fresh rain below

The green into brown

Small creatures fade fast

Beneath the snow

Crystal castles

Freeze the tongue

With frozen drops

Of liquid fun

Long awaited colors

Burst free of the tundra

Once again bright and fragrant

Touched by the warmth

Of a summer’s day kiss

The brief moment takes flight

On butterfly wings

Giving birth to a babe

After an exchange of rings

Eternally yours

And you are mine

Our love will endure

As our faith ‘til the end

This poem was inspired by the word Enchanted from
Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop

This poem kind of just wrote itself.  I started out with one idea, but it took it's own form and I think it turned out pretty good, considering I haven't written any poetry for years!  I usually never rhyme in my poems and I started out that way in this one, but some lines just came out rhyming for some reason, then fell back to my non-rhyming style.  (forgive me for not knowing the proper terminology... that English class was a lifetime ago.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it.
