The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Circles

Round and round the earth doth turn
upon its daily round,
the planets too in each their turn
in solar orbits pound.

Nature abhors a straight line
preferring the circle’s arc,
and so says brainy Einstein
parallel lines meet in the dark.



Line count: 8
Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 10.26.25
Prompt: Write a round poem.
