Grandson stands across the room filled
stands future lights eyes bright within
across lights from ancestors generations shine
the eyes ancestors dreamed embodied now
room bright generations embodied in him
filled within shine now him alight
I would write the poem like this:
Grandson stands across the room, filled,
stands, future lights eyes bright within,
across lights from ancestors generations shine,
the eyes ancestors dreamed embodied now,
room bright, generations embodied in him
filled within, shine now, him alight.
This came in response to a prompt from dVerse Poets for a square poem, which has the same number of words as lines and reads the same across and down. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline by two hours since I have my grandson visiting me in Italy from Trinidad for the first time by himself and he keeps me busy. Plus it was a difficult type of poem to write. But todays prompt is button (hosted by Brian) and my grandson's cute as a button so I'll submit it under that guise and hope for latitude!
