Hidden ‘midst a sea of stones
metamorphosis complete
formed of clay and sand and bone
Love’s reminder at our feet.
Metamorphosis complete
broken, chiseled, crystallized
Love’s reminder at our feet
heart-shaped, so to tempt our eyes.
Broken, chiseled, crystallized
centuries of harsh abuse
heart-shaped, so to tempt our eyes
revelations of the truth.
Centuries of harsh abuse,
grace assurance, sins atoned
revelations of the truth
sweet perfection set in stone.
Grace assurance, sins atoned
Love’s reminder at our feet
sweet perfection set in stone
metamorphosis complete.

Wow, so the rules of this type of poetry is to use the second line of each stanza as the first line of the next? Or is that your innovation?

It is a Pantoum (not mine) 😊 Rhyme is ABAB. The second and fourth lines are repeated as first and third in the following stanza. When you get to the end you use the first and third from the first stanza as your second and fourth (or swap them fourth and second). Hope that’s not too confusing. If you google it I’m sure there is an easier explanation. 😊

Thanks Kathryn. I collect heart shaped stones and give them away if it looks like someone needs one. 😊
