Here is a rondelle for Gayle's prompt over at dversepoets.com and for Valentine's Day.



Dawn broke in shattered shards of stippled green;as the gentle voice of spring was heard;you arrived on a shrimp boat's bobbing stern,I swam to meet you in night tourmaline 
I found you as you were finding meAt each glance or sound, my heart stirred Dawn broke in shattered shards of stippled green;as the gentle voice of spring was heard
Soul mates, you were the best part of melike sipping the sweetest of Sauternes,leaving me nothing for which to yearnEmbraced by time, our love endured, unalteredDawn broke in shattered shards of stippled green

Lover's ode...

Thursday is Meeting the Bar at dversepoets.com where 
we have critique and craft.  Bjorn has asked us to write 
kennings (Old Norse metaphors) made up or new brief 
metaphoric phrases or a compound word which are 
underlined below:



I saw her today near the Heavens-gate
Sitting on a park bench quiet and still
peering between wrought iron bars ornate
She wrote on paper with ink, pigeon quill

Stoically, she thought, then penned her love-words
She had hoped his absence temporary,
flocks flew in the formation  missing-bird
Her soulmate rests in the cemetery

Poetry flowed from her heart to her hand
Remembering their love life together
He had given her a gold wedding band
love to last always and now-forever

To be his wife was her utmost desire -
now, ready to light the Juliette-fire
