I think I’ve written more rhyming poems in the past couple of weeks than in the past couple of decades before that. I don’t think it’ll ever be my mainstay, but it’s fun now and then — and probably good exercise, too.
Hush Me
hush the earth
hush the pond
hush each stem
and each frond
hush the sky
hush the road
hush each frog
and each toad
dim the lights
close the blinds
hush my heart
hush my mind

This is lovely–a lullaby for nature, and the humans who observe it, without and within. Its rhythm reminds me (in a happy way) of Goodnight Moon!
Thank you! I wasn’t sure about this one — rhyme makes me a little nervous. It’s been fun to experiment, though.
I agree, this is lovely…makes me wonder what soft tune it could be set to
