Puente

A chapter in the book Love of Animals

Metamorphosis

by Bucketlist


Camouflaged by the host tree
From predatory eyes to see
Changing while nature was 'talking'
Unaware something was stalking
Eating leaves and waiting to cast
The tight restrictive jacket of its past

Once freed, it's body form had changed

Now with patterns differently arranged
It's colored beauty is now displayed
With wings like silk, with which to fly
To travel by fluttering across the sky
Collect flower nectar, morning till late
Carry unsuspecting pollen to cross pollinate





I used a rhyme scheme of aabbcc d ddeeff. (Remember a Puente may also be Free Verse)




Jan Turner has written an excellent example of the rhyming Puente with rhyme scheme
aabbcc d ddeeff. (Remember a Puente may also be Free Verse)

Example #4:
Secrets in the Attic

The attic smelled of heat and stale perfume
as she ascended to the rustic room
that held old relics, chests and books from where
the centuries of dust collected there.
An antique desk was beckoning to her,
and in a hidden place where papers were

~she came upon a letter quite perchance~

and so began this eerie happenstance.
For what she read would put her in a trance
that kept her still for most the afternoon:
her great-great-grandfather in a platoon
of secret service had unmasked a coup
that only France could, through his team, undo.

Another variation could have been to rhyme the bridge with the last two lines of stanza 1,
which would follow a rhyme scheme of aabbcc c d,d,e,e,f,f.
