Quiet as a child in slumber Relentless as an eagle’s dive Soft whispers of skyline amber Is vibrancy of soul’s bliss hive Innocence glows in virgin hues Quiet as a child in slumber Rapture within our heart renews Pulse magnetic, soundless thunder Erst fears no longer encumber Soul presence’s now divine entwined Quiet as a child in slumber Playing earth role in as assigned Bondage to desire, long since shorn Our abode’s in heart’s love chamber Ego’s dead; we’re here now reborn Quiet as a child in slumber 08-May-2022

Me too. I would also add Triolets and Villanelles to the list. I love working with these forms. You have done a fine, fine job with this one.

Thank you, Milt! I like the repeating lines of Quatern and Monchielle forms … providing emphasis to the central theme
