The Field of Rhyme
A Sonnet for Randy Baker's Prompted #5
What magic is there in a simple rhyme?
Admittedly, there is some sonic charm
In causing syllables to march in time
Domesticating free words does no harm
But navigating with this compass strange
What solace will the wild mind discover?
As over possibilities we range
Why embrace grace to awkwardness cover?
Each passing moment is a field most odd
In which we can plant and grow many things:
An image, an idea, even a god
Can come into being as language sings
Whether at dawn or in the glow of dusk
Rhyme can make animate a word’s dry husk
