Memorable writing that sparks imagination. Lean in. Hear the writer’s voice on the page.
Today’s Sparks is a pantoum.
Barbara’s Braid
By Karen Ely
Weaving strands of amber honey
Over, under, around and through
Silky locks of shimmer sunlight
Plaited patterns, three by two
Over, under, around, and through
Brush strokes cultivate the threads
Plaited patterns three by two
A tapestry of golds and reds
Brush strokes cultivate the threads
Silky locks of shimmer sunlight
Plaited patterns, three by two
Weaving strands of amber honey
