Blood Quill

The poetry form chosen is Blood Quill.

Two stanzas of six lines each – Syllables 6-6-9-6-6-9 – Rhyme abcabc defdef

a dance of merriment
to please parched minds and soul
seeking relief from scorched earth and sun
-it's only a statement
we are alive and whole
-connected to share, we all are one

strength revels in itself
we celebrate power
elated - we don't see where it goes
those weapons on the shelf
-parched souls face a shower
of scorched egos, from the sky it flows
