Expression is heard from within
Words spoken tells
where they have been
Buried inside a hidden
grin
Isn’t a sin; isn’t a sin!
Come daylight I show a
bright smile
Won’t hide anymore all
the while
With words to express
shows my style
Been a dark isle; been
a dark isle!
Imagination mine to share
Read to others without
a care
Memories come back shed
a tear
Vision past errs; vision
past errs!
Spirit alive soul is
now born
Guilt and hiding is now
not worn
Past is buried I shall
not mourn
Old pages torn; old
pages torn!

Monotetra Poetry Form - Created by
Michael Walker - Each stanza contains four lines in Monorhyme - Each line is in
tetrameter (four metrical feet) for eight syllables - What makes the Monotetraso powerful as a poetic form is that the last line contains two metrical feet,
repeated - It can have as few as one or two stanzas, or as many as desired.
Stanza Structure: Line 1: 8 syllables; A1, Line 2: 8 syllables; A2, Line 3: 8 syllables; A3,
Line 4: 4 syllables, repeated; A4, A4...rg

My goodness you are talented. How in the world do you come up with all these different forms and the ability to create one of your own? I guess like I said it is just a gift that blesses so many. Thank you.

I belong to a poetry website called the 'Writers and Poetry Alliance' owned by Pat Simpson in the UK. Each week our Teacher Tina posts a poetry style for us to create our own poem. It is a great forum - I then keep these forms in my folder for future use here on 'Expressions'...rg
ReplyDeleteI am sure the more you practice the better you get. You've got years ahead of me. But my time is so limited with all my responsibilities I am lucky to even get time to write at all. You inspire me to find time. Love, Charlene
DeleteWhen I write poetry in a certain style - I have to look up the form myself. That is why I keep a folder with forms in it. One never remembers the instructions with all the poetry forms available. I know you are busy - write when you can and always keep a copy of what you have created. Believe it or not you will see growth. Charlene, you have natural writing abilities when it come to writing poetry - please don't under estimate that - Ok??? I enjoy reading you so much...rg
