Light and Shade

As light and shade play on the grass, in patterns woven by the sun, clouds cast a pall as they roll past till sun's design has come undone. But just as patterns disappear, again sun makes a new premier -- beams break through clouds just passing by to light again the grass and sky. |

I have admired the rispetto form for a while but have not tried it up to now. It is a lovely but simple form that consists of two quatrains - each written in iambic tetrameter. The first has a rhyme scheme of abab and the second a rhyme scheme of ccdd.
I was just looking out my window at the grass and there was a lovely weave of light and dark patches in the strong sunlight, and then clouds passed over and it all went dull. Just a minute later, out came the sun again. Metaphoric interpretations are invited. :-)
