I like this, I am particularly impressed with the diamond layout of the lines that is something truly good and reflects the fact your poem tells of how love is precious, kudos |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Linda, it seems every time I read beautiful romantic poetry it makes me cry because it must be such a beautiful feeling and I dream to finally hold the hand of my dream girl and open my heart to her with the beauty of friendship also always shining! (kiss on cheek) She is every one of my dreams, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

I really really really really really really really liked this! My favorite line was: "Lovers Touching of hearts Carressing of bodies The selfless honoring of souls The meeting of minds and sharing of lives A sea of rolling emotions Joyful companions Joining as one Lovers" Hehe, I loved the whole thing. It's so so true. I liked this a lot. Thanks for sharing. Peace. ~*~Kirah~*~ "Life is not measured by the moments we take,but by the moments that take our breaths away." -Author Unkown. |

Wow that's really cool how it came in the diamond shape. I love it. I think it adds to the poem...is there a special words for that? It's really cool. I asked God how much he loved me... |

ttc ~ Thank you! Yes, this form is called a "rictameter". It starts off with 2 syllables (beats) then 4 then 6 then 8 then 10 then 8 then 6 then 4 and ends off with the original 2 syllables which could be two one syllable words or one two syllable words. Hope that helps! Warm hugs, Earth Angel |
