This poem is an INTERLOCKING RUBAIYAT. I have chosen for it to consist of three quatrains the rhyming pattern is therefore a a b a and <br />b b c b and c c a c. I have chosen ten syllables per line - iambic pentameter. I hope this is clear. <br /> <br />I still find beauty in the common things <br />The sheen of feathers on a seagulls wings <br />The butterfly that on my fence will rest <br />The sound of nature when a song thrush sings. <br /> <br />The tinkling of a brook I love the best <br />The crashing of a wave down from its crest <br />The waterfall whose torrent makes a roar <br />The ripple of a lake when it's at rest. <br /> <br />The clustered bluebells on the forest floor <br />The beauty of the roses round a door <br />The joy that Autumn's colour always brings <br />The beauty of the snow at Avimore. <br /> <br />(John Knight - Colchester - November 2009)<br /><br />John Knight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/1129-beauty-is-everywhere/
