PIONEER POEM: AUTUMNAL NIGHTS

Nancy's Notes šŸ–ŠļøšŸŽ¶

Owl watches on high
Cowl hooded toadstools

Lark sounds his shrill chirp
Dark thoughts are dispelled

Magic home aglow
Tragic tales be gone

Cobbled pathway smooth
Hobbled gnomes seek rest

Stone bridge subtle curves
Lone frog soundly croaks

Lamp light leads the way
Damp mist fills the air

Safe warm rooms inside
Waif and stray embrace

Fog caresses trees
Log blazes on hearth

Fear naught in these woods
Hear the babbling brook

Soft surroundings drift
Oft autumnal nights

Cowl hooded toadstools
Owl watches on high

    1. Thank you for your kind words and your interest!
      I will explain the Pioneer Poem process:
      1. The FIRST words of each line are the rhyming words
      2. Each line must be 5 syllables or less
      3. Your poem can be as short or as long as you like
      4. The last two lines of your poem are the same as the first two lines, only written in reverse.
      5. Pioneer Poems are for fun and do not need to be profound! šŸ˜Š
      If you read these rules and follow along with my poem, you will see it’s not that difficult to understand and easy to write. I hope, if you decide to give it a go, that you will have fun. That’s the whole idea of the Pioneer Poem!

      1. I would dance in a fairy ring on the night of the full moon while plaiting foxglove in my hair if I thought it would bring me to this house… In fact, I may do that anyway now that I’ve thought about it.
