Broken Circles
It's said that life's
a circle full
Three hundred sixty degrees
But circumstances
sometimes
Cut the cycle to its knees
For those who are
affected by
Such vagaries profound
Blindsided by
floodwaters
In which the cycle drowns
Know that life
is also kind
The circle made askew
Through nature's strong
and healing touch
Will be restored anew.
Shared with One Stop Poetry for A Look At Rhyme by Gay Cannon, also known as beachanny. With thanks once again to Russell Crowe, who always provides inspiration.

Beautiful. I don't know what you or R. Crowe would call the form but for me it's iambic heptameter couplets broken into triplet stanzas and beautifully written with a message of hope through life's trials - philosophically and geometrically examined. Well done! Thanks, Gay
I like, very MUCH! Blindsighted by flood waters. Carries a lot f image these days with the Mississippi swelling in record ways.
ah lovely...have a touch of nature in mine as well...cycle drowned in the floodwaters is a powerful image...
I enjoyed your words in Broken Circle. The verses flowed beautifully and I enjoyed the theme of the life cycle, disruption, and renewal. Very cool.
Do you want to be published? You have to progress before.Good luck

couldn't help but think of wild fires and how they seem to destroy yet make way for nature's renewal. and nice work with the rhymes and assonance :)
