Dream of me on this starry night Let me take your soul to new heights To my heart let your heart me open And let the last barrier between us be broken We'll meet in a place suspended in time And while we're there our love will shine So come and join me on this plane There, our love will never be the same ------------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

I drank my seven-up Until i had too much Eating my french fries Until i couldn't drive I sank on the couch Thinking about My friend in jail Looking at his fate Did i pass the test For assonance? Sharing your different poetic forms You do bring our soul to new heights Who would not dream of you on this starry night? With all these fantastic composition inviting our imagination to another plane monique [This message has been edited by monique (edited 07-03-2000).] |

Lovely, Sven. May I suggest you give the readers a definition of assonance? |

You only have to ask once deVine!!  Assonance (from a Latin word meaning "to correspond to in sound") is the repetition without rhyme of vowel sounds in stressed syllables. It usually creates a soothing effect in poems. In some poems, assonance is used as a substitute for true rhyme. As illustrated by my poem here and by Monique's response. . . (well done btw, monique!!) Thank you all for your responses!! ----------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 07-05-2000).] |

Thanks for enlightening me with a definition and with another beautiful poem. Can't wait for the next poetic form. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |
