The Unborn Sun

Blooming lavender lilac print

splashed on the hues of April tint;

your sundress.

Perky eyes curious spring face,

will love old stories of the space

at sundown.

Bubbling life in taciturn swan,

changing patterns shadowed upon

sundial.

Whispered lullabies melt around,

resting on my lap dreaming sound

till sunrise.

Awaiting your sweet soothing muse,

reviving kiss for morning blues

my sunshine.

I have used the Compound Word Verse poetry form here. It was invented by Margaret R. Smith and consists of five 3-line stanzas, for a total of 15 lines. The last line of each stanza ends in a compound word and these compound words share a common stem word which is taken from the title. (In my poem the stem word is “Sun” from the title “The Unborn Sun”; the compound words related to the title are sundress, sundial, sunshine, sunrise, sundown). The Compound Word Verse has a set rhyme scheme and meter as follows:
Rhyme Scheme: a,a,b c,c,d e,e,f g,g,h i,i,k
Syllable count: 8,8,3 for each set of 3 lines
