Weaving Strands of our Being

















they  say   dreams  are  for  believing
weaving
adventure in  faraway   lands  
strands
pearls of  wisdom  overseeing
of  our  being 
letting  go  can  be  so  freeing 
close  your  weary  eyes  drift   away 
let  your  inner  child  out  to   play 
weaving strands of  our  being 


writing a new form over at dVerse
Unraveling the Ovillejo - I'm not sure how I did  but, I did try...

 Basically, broken down line by line, you’re looking at (aa bb cc cddc): with the shorter lines forming a complete thought in the end. If you want to learn more please visit dVerse.

      Bjorn, I wrote the poem first then tried to decide on the image and the pearls just seemed so right...

      Thanks Mary, I think sometimes we get too caught up in the adult world that we forget how to have fun.

    It has such a musical sound to it as you read it. I love that. Also, my inner child is out so much I don't think it's possible to stuff him back inside at this point.

      Hey, anything musical I love...I think it is best to leave your inner child out he likes to play and he makes me laugh :)

    Your rhymes remind me a lot of some of the echo poetry that we experimented with a while back. Really enjoyed this.

      Hi Bryan,

      I remember that form but, I hadn't tried it I guess in a way it is similar. Thanks maybe, I should try echo poetry.
