Having spent wonderful hours in the yard this weekend, and looking forward to more on my time off this week, here's a Loop Poem inspired by my garden.
For more poetry, Ride the Poetry Train!
The Snags of Life
Standing in the garden
Garden opened wide
Wide enough for all
All to step inside
Treasures peek from corners
Corners beckon sweetly
Sweetly spiced and tempting
Tempting me completely
Shadows cool and knowing
Knowing boughs that wave
Waves of color flicked by breezes
Breezes gather seeds to save
Garden beckons, gathers
Gathers butterfly and bird
Bird takes refuge here
Here the snags of life are cured

Naquillity says Very nice loop poem. Your garden pic is great.
Mimi says I've never come across a loop poem before (sheltered life??) There is a sense of forward movement all the way through, driven by the loop system.
Jennie Marsland says I've never seen a loop poem before either, at least not one labeled as such. Beautiful!
