What Might Transpire when you Believe

he spoke of having not one feeling
nothing left him open to reeling
nothing that he found appealing
until he heard her voice singing

nothing left him open to reeling
nothing that he found appealing
until he heard her voice, singing
sudden pure joy she was bringing

nothing that he found appealing
until he heard her voice, singing
sudden pure joy she was bringing
emphatically, sadness was leaving

when he heard her voice, singing
sudden pure joy to him bringing
emphatically, sadness began leaving
he wondered at the loss of grieving

sudden pure joy she was bringing
emphatically, sadness began leaving
he pondered at the loss of grieving,
and began to reason with believing

Emphatically, sadness was leaving
No longer pondering thoughts of grieving
Instead he welcomed all of the believing
Knowing she would never be leaving

And he loved her.

karilea - This is a very interesting form.  I read it twice and I think I get the meaning now.  Thanks for laying it out so well.  Very tricky writing here, as each line must be consistent from verse to verse.  You are great.

I'M YELLING AGAIN  

So teachers pet...wanna tell us wanna-be- poets what the name of that poetic form is?    
AND................

CONGRATS ON 19,000   


Sprayed across my heart and hers
danced butterflies in the wild.
This angel, this woman,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

Believing holds such power dear poetess.......thank YOU for this one.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

I'm unfamiliar with this poetic form.... perhaps she invented it?

In any case, Sunshine... it's a very nice format you chose.  I felt that the images were concrete and wonderful, and the way you reworded some of the lines in order to make them make sense, but still kept them basically the same, was magnificent.

The story... it's vivid and well told because so much of it is reiterated.  Very easily, the reader comprehends the images and visualizes them.

I think this is some very good poetry, Sunshine.  Thank you for sharing it with us.

this one had the most beautiful rippling effect as a coin tossed into a wishing well. Soothing more and more with each ripple. So glad you are at 19,000. That means you'll be here for many more.

Sincerely,
Regina

almost poeish, without the punchline..the style...and the topic, primo presenting of the most powerful of all emotions...believing is the root of all good.

I agree with everybody else and couldn't say it better.

You captured the way that loves just creeps up when you're not looking.  Apeases the hopeful romantic side..it does.
