the 11 of 12 given words:
praise spirit singer song more road
path dignity rain cloud, forget
in praise of the spirit
accentuating the singer
and not the song
more than anything else
was the road to excellence
a beaten path dutifully taken
with dignity impacting on
an outright spoiler
virtues of summer
virtues of summer
rain varied with vestiges
of honor kept falling
in abundance
it came under a cloud that
one was wanting to forget
for the threat of rising
waters was ever present

Interesting, the road to excellence the beaten path dutifully taken. That is cool, Hank. I can almost feel the rising waters, given the heavy rain.
ReplyDeleteSure a path that will beat one down, but have to keep on trudging through. Or learn how to swim.

And then, after this honor, or before it--all of the circumstances come into play. A thoughtful poem beautifully rendered.
Ah, that pesky threat of rising water, ever lurking ...
ReplyDeleteRising waters can surely put a damper on our celebrations!
