Welcome to my April 2025 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with pictures), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly.  So, here goes nothing!

So, without further ado, L is for …Lai
“The lai is a French form. It’s a nine-line poem or stanza that uses an “a” and “b” rhyme following this pattern: aabaabaab. The lines with an “a” rhyme use 5 syllables; the “b” rhyme lines have 2 syllables.

Spring

As blossoms cascade
to the ground, they fade
and rest
a bloomful arcade
like pink snowfall made
by guests
with confetti played
until bloom clouds are laid
to rest
