Purple Horizon Proud

Rispetto, eleven syllables per line, ab, ab, ab, cc rhyme scheme

.

 

 

                    The sun rose bright red_ not a dark cloud in sight

                           Few whispy cotton clouds spread around blue sky

                     Redtail Hawk in sky left nest for morning flight

                            On those cold air currents he did swiftly fly

 

                     Door was opened by east north easterly wind

                          Letting out illnes, death, and want_in comes health

                    The sunset covered in dense clouds_ cold its shroud

     Will it rise in morn purple horizon proud

I must admit, I couldn't tell Rispetto from Ricotta cheese, before I read this.
I like the form, you have done well using it..maybe I'll try it..but it prolly won't come out near as good as this one..
Love reading your work, in all of its many forms.

[Desert Dreamer]

I believe that the mind plays a great part in the healing process, and images such as this are a great example. Such great healing to be found in the wind when one imagines the wind taking away the bad and bringing in the good. This poem creates an image that brings contemplation. Thank you for sharing these words.
