Royal Rose (Rhyming Alliterisen)

Written by Sylvia

Sweet scents tickle your nose.
Odorous perfume, regal rose.
Soft silky satin petals,
sharp thorns like nasty nettles.
Countless colors paint their blooms,
their brilliant beauty consumes.
God's great gift to please our eyes.

Dancing Snowflakes (Rondeau)

Written by Sylvia

Snowflakes are dancing as they come spiraling down,
like tiny ballerinas all dressed in white gowns.
Fluffy delicate flakes, cascading from the skies,
creating visions so beautiful to the eyes.
--------Glistening flakes, rhinestone tiaras worn as crowns.

Snow, creating coverlet of white for the ground,
the wind is blowing, swirling downy flakes around.
Clinging to branches of trees, a wondrous disguise.
--------Snowflakes are dancing!

Blanketing the landscape, snow angels do abound,
angelic figures, all sizes and shapes surround.
Awakening to snowfall at morning sunrise,
blissful sights and sounds, quite a wonderful surprise.
Lasting memories to fill a lifetime are found,
--------Snowflakes are dancing!

A Blood Stained World

Written by Sylvia

Evil lives in this world today in the guise of religious belief,
that if you do not agree with our way we will cause you grief.

Blood stains on the streets of the cities of the world,
an enourmous hatred has been unfurled.

Hear our words, the killing must cease,
for in our strength there will be peace.

Enduring Love (Triolet)

In response to Shelley's, "Music, When Soft Voices Die".

Voices quieted, music no longer heard;
in memories and thoughts, love will endure,
forever, until the end of my words.
Voices quieted, music no longer heard;
Roses die, the scent of sweet flowers blurred.
When you have departed, of this I'm sure,
Voices quieted, music no longer heard;
In memories and thoughts, love will endure.
