Heed the call of the lonely magpie Through the valley, softContinue reading “Waiting For Spring (A Villanelle)”

The Raisonneur
The Raisonneur Ah, distinctly I remember It was in the bleak December. The cold north winds would not abate, The raisonneur of my life’s fate. Dark night gave way to morning light, A winter wonderland of white Perched lightly on my iron gate, TheContinue reading “The Raisonneur”
The Road To Resolution
The Road to Resolution (A Kyrielle Sonnet) Roads stretch far as the eye can see, Speeding white lines hypnotize me. Drive nonstop until morning light… I’m going the distance tonight.

Refrain (A Kyrielle Sonnet)
“Park City Sunset” by Colleen Breuning © 2015 Refrain Night echoes in my heavy heart Painted darkness, my work of art. Words and anguish mingle with rain, My soul released with each refrain.
