“Sweet” #Abhanga, #NaPoWritMo

Posted on by Colleen M. Chesebro

When I wake up in the morning, one of the first things I do, after I kiss my husband good morning, is to grab a cup of coffee. Then, I go to Facebook to see what lovely photo Merril D. Smith has shared for the day.

Today’s photo was spectacular! I was so inspired I had to write this abhanga poem. This is an Indian syllabic form written in a 6-6-6-4 syllable count with an end scheme of x, a, a, x, where x is unrhymed. 

sweet blossoms fall like rain
a ground cover of white
blooms stir as if in flight
perfume lingers
