And another Minute Poem for the Daily Post prompt: Forbidden.
You must not turn your back, he said,
Or bow your head,
For wolves will snap,
Hunters entrap.
Keep to the shadows, learn to hide,
To slip and glide.
The gentle night
Will see you right.
And so I walk where I should not,
A slow dog trot
Among the trees,
The silent breeze.
For at the end of this dark lane,
An end to pain.
I’ll meet you there
If you but dare.
This form looks perfect for song lyrics.
Great picture, too! Is it cubism?
It’s Franz Marc, German Expressionist. He painted lots of foxes and horses.
I adore that!! How beautiful!
Thank you! I’m fond of foxes.
This is an interesting rhythm. It works well here. And of course great art. (K)
When I read the examples on shadow poetry, I didn’t get a great sense of the rhythm, but you’re right, it should have that, like a song. And you, Marc painted beautiful pictures 🙂
I really like this tale of the foxes. I like the rhymes in this one, too.
And that painting is beautiful.
Thank you! I love Marc’s animal paintings.
Loved it.
Thank you!
