Lens-Artists Weekly Photo Challenge #148: Spots and Dots
(Frank Bruce 1931 – 2009)
your words fade from
the headstone, the way you
returned to nature in this life
and after you join the stars
~ we sit with your presence ~
still lingering between
the Lesser Celandine
that point towards the light
you always followed

Puente is a modern poetry form created by James Rasmusson. The first stanza develops one aspect of a topic where you, line by line, work towards another aspect. The centre line is delineated by a tilde (~) and functions as a bridge that forms a couplet with both the last line of the first stanza and the first line of the second stanza. You can choose any number of lines, as long as the first stanza has the same number of lines as the second stanza. You can find more information about the form here.
