The Waiting Ponddown behind your father's house past the clawfoot tub like a tin can overturned where the field grass whispered
Hallelujah! to the frogs and the sun held his tender breath among a mantle (pink) of clouds where at the pond's threadbare shore you took my hands very gently and like a quiet zephyr, like a drifting papillon I said I love you and the frogs started Hallelujah, Hallelujah! and in tender rebuke with a Missourian patina over the chorus of the fro The Waiting Pond

-From out in the scrub past the limits of town when the wind blows just right comes a faint lonesome sound
It floats on down main street like a wicked old spirit that grabs hold of your soul just as soon as you hear it

I am very much enjoying my foray into the world of highly structured poems. I love the triolet I've already posted and will definitely be writing more of those. Had a slow day at work today and managed to complete both a rondel and a villanelle, both of which I will post later tonight after my roommate's birthday dinner (if I am not too drunk).
