didn't see monotetra in the glossary, this is my understanding of the form

the number of stanza is unlimited
each stanza has four lines
all four lines rhyme with each other
each line has eight syllables
the fourth line of each stanza is composed of 4 syllables followed by the identical 4 syllables

She swirls the stars and spits the breeze
Sound the charge, celestial armies
Raise her banner o'er land and seas
Did she say please? Did she say please?


your turn

Her strength, a gift from up above
And when this world would push and shove
She wears God's peace just like a glove
She knows God's love! She knows God love!

Michael loyal seams to be
Words sound as if she's royalty
Awake! Her curiosity
So, who is he? So, who is he?

Sweet words still fall from his lip
Safe embrace might the scales tip
Sin, not her desire; dance, spin, dip
Time slowly slip, Time slowly slip.

Chaste is she, though forty's near
The next words she does speak in fear
Cry of infant she'll never hear
Might adopt, dear; might adopt, dear

To nurture children she does want
Her illness shared with child would haunt
Recent surgery not to flaunt
She means no taunt, she means no taunt

His sweetest words her fears release
They too have brought much needed peace
Decisions not whim or caprice
His joy increase, his joy increase

Appears our thread has grown some eyes
Earthly ones, not those in the skies
The number of views on the rise
Our words disguise? Our words disguise?

Not sure where there's a disconnect
Just thought don't need audience

In that case I will testify
Long for one who a knot will tie
Not to be alone when I die
Hope, do not fly; hope, do not fly.

Oops!! I guess I should rephrase that.
He senses my moods. Who? My cat.
When life is tough, with me he's sat.
His head I'll pat! His head i'll pat!

Max was saved from his abuser
(Loved him so won't call him loser)
In my care Max has grown older
And much sweeter. And much sweeter.

If I continue on this thought
Painful mem'ries will be my lot
But tomorrow I may be taught
Time can't be bought! Time can't be bought!

Time to let God's healing power
Increase in my heart every hour
Roses bloom, God made each flower
Brave don't cower! Brave don't cower!

Here is news from the other site
My prayers read gave men delight

Choose I must, or they'll start a fight

Can I do right, can I do right?




So now I say goodbye

Returning to the writing room
And not sounding like a big loon

Inspiration is needed soon

Head in sand dune! Head in sand dune!

The words you wrote made me grin
Galatians 5, where to begin
Spirit's fruit, list's end. . . Again
Write on napkin, write on napkin



Found a poem prompt. Essentially said write about anything, but no bashing anybody. Made me think if there was more love in the world nobody would bash anybody. Which led me to Galatians 5. Then I thought it's a list, that really should be thought of as a cycle. When you get to the end Begin Again. So that's where my poem is going I guess.
