Barren

Barren (Essence)

Frail womb of abandoned land
yester's bloom,sleeps on sand,

spring smothered by concrete,
limp wings, desperately plead,

summer steadily blaze,
readily winter's grace.

**Essence
The Essence, created by Emily Romano is a short, structured form of two-lines, six syllables each with an
end rhyme and internal rhyme.

    Spring smothered by concrete,
    limp wings, desperately plead,

    Ohhh..this is just a vivid image that comes
    into the mind! Well done with the challenge my dear!

    Very nicely done, does not at all seemed forced. i know several times I see these forms and they are so forced because the rhyme and strict rules but this one was not at all. I loved it.. you did a great job .
