Wall Reflection

Wall at Dromana beach reflecting in a puddle after rain.

In a reflection
A beach wall looks much straighter
Than reality

My Wall

Scratchy network of discordant shadows
Like yesterday's bones bathing in new lights
Nature's stark mural of fleshless hollows
Reaching for semblance of credible heights
My patchy tangles from cold listless nights
Like echoing moans churning in some sea
Of desert wasteland flung far from your sites
While I pale on walls of eternity



NOTE - This is my second attempt at a huitain.
(My first attempt was A Monk's Tale for Real Toads.)
It is a poem in a single Ballade stanza.
The verse form was most popular in the 16th century and was often used for epigrams in the 18th century. One source suggests the huitain may have begun in Spain.
The basic layout is:
Line length: 8 (French) or 10 (English) syllables
Rhyme scheme: ababbcbc
Number of lines: 8

**No websites seem to explore the association with death as an "undertow" theme in the huitain,  even though I have observed that many old examples of huitain seem to do this!
I have not noted this as a feature on my dVerse post, but I have acknowledged this theme's presence in both my huitain by suggesting the death of some old life.

Church Wall in Black and White

Side wall of St Mark's Anglican Church, Dromana
Construction of the Neo-gothic-style St Mark's Anglican Church was commenced in 1892 and the first service was held in the church in April 1893. The church was constructed using rusticated limestone with red brick quoins and features rendered parapets at the gable end. 
St Mark's is the Mornington Peninsula's third oldest Anglican stone church and is only pre-dated by St John's in Sorrento (1874) and St Andrew's in Rye (1882).

Dark Spaces

Deep morning shadows on my home wall near the front entrance.

A cloak of shadows
The art of weaving dark space
A patch of sunlight

It Was A Wall and Window

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A new sprawling home is being built at a Red Hill property.
Leaning on the fenceline is this.
Somehow, I felt a kind of hollow sadness when I saw the play of early morning sunlight and shadow on this broken wall and window.

This wall protects diners outside, but still gives them a sense of openness beacuse this area is raised above the footpath level!
