The Wood's Weft

(Irish rannaigheacht mhor)

Housed, there longs here quiet rooms
where I meet the meld of seams;
nudged by space of self to soul-
traces budge, wholing grout's grail.

Sanctum's attic, west-wing strong,
hears pulled planks of blessed strings.
Stairways capture cornered views
of wall's word-worn frays or flaws.

Basement balms surround wide floors;
hiding here, I've found the flares.
Finding fades of carpet soft,
I wade aloft the wood's weft.

(Rannaigheacht mhor consists of heptasyllabic lines (seven syllables) that consonate
 a a b b   or   a b a b, and has at least 2 cross rhymes in each couplet.  In the second couplet
 of each stanza, the cross rhyme must be true rhyme.  In the first couplet, the cross rhyme
 does not need to be exact.  It may simply consonate.  In the last line of each stanza, the
last word should consonate with the previously stressed syllable or word in that line.)
