Burn ' s Night

The snow lay crisp as angel's hair.
As dawn awoke the world lay cold and bare
Was ever there a sight so rare?
What light! The sun! The glow!
Take flight and watch the path with care,
Or sit and watch the show!

Robert Burn is a celebrated Scottish poet. His poem are generally written in 6 line stanzas in an aaabab rhyme scheme, with the a lines written in tetrameter and the b lines in diameter. This was my little contribution today. I picked snow since the East Coast of the United States in currently Under Snowpoxalyse 2015.

Non- Lymericks

I once thought my love walked on air

But our relationship was going nowhere

Our flame burned much higher

When fueled by desire

We couldn’t stand our souls laid bare

Sorrow is grief born on wings

Like an arrow, it pierces and stings,

But time soon will heal

You’ll begin to feel

Your heart will begin to sing
