Ye gift me with thine essence of healing myrrh, Ye warm me with thine presence of soothing wine. Thy tender loving ways set mine heart astir, Thy kisses be consuming and oh so fine. When it comes to love, ye be a connoisseur, And when ye be afar, mine soul dost pine. For when we be entwining in love's duet, Our passions be stirring 'til the moon hast set.

Nightshade ~ I'm pleased that you enjoyed this little poetic stretch of mine! As you know, I usually write a sing-songy, rhyming style but once in a while I do enjoy trying something new!  Morning huggums, Linda |

OTTAVA RIMA, a stanza of eight iambic lines, containing three rhymes, invariably arranged as follows:a b a b a b c c. It is an Italian invention, and we find the earliest specimens of its use in the poetry of the fourteenth century. Now don't get all excited, I looked Ottava Rima up. Very unique poem, sharing a diversity of emotion...lovely read...thank you for writing and sharing. Good Morning |

Lee ~ Why thank you for looking that up! It saved me from writing an explanation! lol There had been no mention of iambic where I got my information. It just mentioned that the lines could be of 10 or 11 syllables. abababcc ~ a one octive poem abababcc dededeff ~ a two octive poem abababcc dededeff ghghghii ~ a three octive poem and so on, and so one... Thank you for your thoughtfulness! ~ Enjoy your day, Dear One! Linda |
