As I was reading Debbie Diller's post, Poetry Friday: A doublet, I was inspired to try one of my own. I was not familiar with doublets, and became intrigued by the one she created. According to Debbie, "In a doublet, a word is changed, one letter at a time, into another word and arranged vertically into a poem."
What may seem to take forever,
are the important things we seek,
the things desired by a meek heart.
Inspiration from the muses we meet,
are as vibrant as the color of a beet.
The thought makes my heart skip a beat.
I sense the heat of it
as my thoughts begin to heal.
I haven't heard of a doublet before. Very intriguing. I like the color of the beet as a description.
ReplyDeleteNice doublet, Valerie! It inspires me to try one soon... a bit intimidating to think about!
