Awakenings (vingt-et-un)

by Larry Chamberlin   Jan 27, 2013


A sleepless night is interrupted
by the creeping of light
from uninvited dawn.

"vingt-et-un" is a form poem consisting of 21 syllables. It originated on PnQ by abracadabra approximately 6 October 2011 as part of a contest. I have merely given it a French name.

    Hahaha, that's pretty awesome, Larry. Thanks for the mention. French formalises everything. Hope you're well.

      Well it's a great format - sometimes a thought cannot be captured properly in 17 syllables.
