Key Hole: A Kyrielle Sonnet and Challenge
The winding trail that leads us there,
We walk together as a pair,
Enjoying this day fresh and new;
When and how the sun shines through.
The canyon, filled with grasses,
Color, shades of molasses,
Sunlit sparkling drops of dew;
When and how the sun shines through.
Wind, rain creates the key hole,
Gorgeous views you must behold,
White puffy clouds, sky so blue;
When and how the sun shines through.
The winding trail that leads us there,
When and how the sun shines through.
Photo taken today, while walking a trail, just to the west of my home. This photo, as all my photos , not enhanced.

You are awesome.
As it should be! Little sisters should think their big sisters are awesome.
I also think you are pretty awesome yourself! You made my day!
Oh, I love this! This is a beautiful Kyrielle Sonnet. You did a really fantastic job of the challenge! I will be adding to challenge post. 🙂
Cubby, thanks so much for your beautiful poetry; it is a joy to read everyday! I thank you for your encouragement, through your comments, to me and to others to give writing a sonnet a try. It was fun writing this sonnet and I appreciate your comments! Thanks for creating the instructions and illustration, otherwise it would have been difficult. {smiling}
Love this, Sheila!!! So well done!! Excellent photo!!
Thank you, I appreciate it very much! I took this photo early yesterday morning while on a walk. It was a beautiful fall morning. I love to read Cubby’s blog and it just so happened that she had posted a writing challenge, so thinking about what I saw on my walk made it possible for me to even attempt the challenge, otherwise I don’t think so!
Thanks again Barb!! I hope your enjoy your day and keep publishing your beautiful photos and poetry! I truly enjoy your blog!
Did you find this easy? It reads as if you did – it really flows. I found it hard… but then I have only just started and it was the first time I tried anything other than a ‘random words on page’ approach 🙂
Hi, thanks for writing. This was my very first challenge and sonnet! I did find it easy only, because I was writing about an experience I had that morning. What I did, after reading Cubby’s instructions, was to write the first line and the repeating last line. I then just started jotting down words, such as: sky, grasses, canyon, etc. After, I tried to find words that would rhyme with these words. It was great fun and after I posted it, I felt wonderful.
Please come back for a visit!
I’ll be back for sure! I can’t believe it was your first but you made it sound do accomplished. The thing I found the biggest challenge was ensuring the final couplet made sense…
Yes, that was tricky! 🙂
