Rain into the eves flow down The surrogate decline While bubble by the entering Veins of gypsum window Stay affixed by mine And pursue while I pointed leave The blue underneath Masked a coursing guise
Whittled off a simple branch One bud small as the tear Still mother's hair before its time To weathered dully glow Buoy in a sinking fear One child's wail far Flow down into the whirling yawn With blue ropes ready bear
My simple say is silent stalked By dredged comeuppance will First droplets tumble off the reed Then rest in lining scroll Roots mined until their packs have fill Once one shine prejudice The stolen difference be borne Out with the welling sail
Originally written on October 16, 2014. Eighth poem for the Hundred Theme Challenge by The-Poetry-Cafe. Not as straightforward with the theme as some of the others, but I like how it came out.
