Victoria has asked us to write using the Lai form of poetry today, a nine line stanza or verse with the short 5 or 2 syllable lines. I expanded it to several more lines.
With my hazel eyes
I see the sunrise
layers,
and I theorize
the Universe' size.
Sailors'
silken moons arise;
I romanticize,
players
immortalized in
periwinkle skies
Prayers,
stories of our lives,
hopes, dreams realized
Paler
stars found, a surprise
novas rhapsodize
Nature
mourns, decries the why's
of lost butterflies
