eventide tableau

eventide tableau

unwinding at dusk
birdsong in the air
hummingbirds jousting
doves, wrens, and finches
flutter ‘round feeders
me, learning to breath

The Tableau

The Tableau, a poetry form created by Emily Romano in October of 2008, consists of one or more verses, each having six lines. Each line should have five beats. There is no set rhyme scheme, although rhyme may be present. The title should contain the word tableau.

Since the dictionary states the word tableau means picture or representation, the poem should reflect this. A picture should come to mind as the poem is read.
