Whispers
Of our two hearts
Speaking to each other
Sounding clearly through the distance
Heard through the rustle of a gentle breeze
And when we are close together
We can speak without words
Two hearts of love
Whispers

So that's a rictameter...it looks much like a diamonte. They must be the same thing with different names, or there are nuances here that I'm missing...which is too very likely, on my part.

It's a soft and lovely poem, lined out beautifully!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Sometimes we don't need any words
to understand how deep our love goes.

So pretty Ethel~

I love this. I, too, live far from my love, and you phrase my thoughts so well. (PS She visits soon for 6 weeks!) Ken J

Virginia,
Now, that's a new one (again). I've never
heard of a "diamonte", so I don't know
what the differences would be, or how
slight they would be.
I really thank you for for liking it.

Karilea,
WOW!! That makes me feel good for you to
say that!! Thank you, Lady.

Nancy Lee,
Thank you. You really should try them.
They are so much fun to try to write.
I'll bet you could do some beautiful ones.

Alyssa,
Thank you so much. I'm glad that it made
your day start off better.

I really appreciate all of you.
Heart hugs to you all.

Ethel

Lori,
Thank you very much.
You're right, too, sometimes words
just aren't needed.

Ken,
Thank you so much.
That makes me feel good to know someone
relates to what I write.
Oh, I'll bet you are so excited,
you can hardly wait until she gets there.
That's really great!!

Marti,
Thank you very much.
I'm really glad that you like it,

(big huggggssssss) Oh Ethel, sorry for my belated response, sweet friend, I was busy with mid-terms much of the week but knew your poems were there, yay! (kiss on cheek) This whispers with such beauty, sweet friend, may the spring breeze always sound with the happy song of a bumblebee of love, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
