Come Winter ~~

 Laura hosts Meeting the Bar in the Pub and asks us to write an invented stanzaic form poem called the "Sparrowlet" [six lines, eight syllables per line, and a complex rhyme scheme] Created by poet, Kathrine Sparrow.


Our townhome deck


assembled in chill, no mean feat

snow bathed in winter's soft conceit

wine bottles drained connoisseurs we

this modern work of art complete 

a roaring fire reflections deep

no mean feat, assembled in chill

  2. I love the thought of ‘snow bathed in winter's soft conceit’, Helen, which is counterpointed by the roaring fire.

  7. Deliciously playful, both content, lexical games and sounds.
