it’s the kind of storm

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.

it’s still dark outside
when the alarm screams
hit snooze, close my eyes
cat perched on my face
wet dog nose in my
ear, sleep ain’t happ’ning

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

a flash of crimson caught my eye
it was a cardinal pearched nearby
though I tried my best to deny
that there was more to this, I
secretly hoped it was you saying hi

Slightly off form with rhyme and a few line run overs, but the cardinal and I had a moment so…
