Rhyming
with window
How its
sills could do with
cleaning,
the curse
of
upkeep, how we lie low
behind
a curtained one for
solitude,
making the castle
our
own; how, in the dipping
afternoon,
the softer light
leans
in, teasing glass
to
ornament, dressing
it up
to glow.
Enchanting. All the layers of life between its lines. Love '... teasing glass/to ornament ...'
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz. It's one of those momentary pieces written on the spot in response to a small impetus. Someone was saying that it's difficult to fine good rhymes for the word "window" ...so this popped up ready made.
ReplyDeletethey're subtle rhymes... but I love the title even if it didn't rhyme!
ReplyDeleteI love the title too. My first reading was with 'Rhyming' as a noun rather than a verb - liked that s lot.
