if angels were birds

if angels were birds

turtle doves
adorned in gray, mourning,
messengers from above
coo-cooing come morning
bearers of peace and love

The Bob and Wheel

The bob and wheel, which has its origins in mediaeval poetry and song, takes its name from the craft of spinning. It consists of five lines; a short (two or three syllable) first line followed by four lines of six syllables each. The first, third and fifth lines rhyme, as do the second and fourth lines. We can present this schematically as follows:

xxA

xxxxxB

xxxxxA

xxxxxB

xxxxxA
