Howdy. My name is Jolene, but many call me Jo. I wrote poetry in junior high and high school, then stopped abruptly after a harsh criticism for approximately 15 to 20 years. It seems I have picked up the pen again since the 10th of December 2015. I have some health issues and find it a good way to cope.



When I post poems will there be a digital copy right added automatically, or do I need to add a notation. I assume I do retain copyright.

Feedback on my poem Heart has been posted to my account. Its sequel Together should be posted in a day or two. Constructive criticism appreciated. Thank you. Jolene / Jo



Please, any feedback is appreciated. Positive or constructive.

How do I thank / respond 2 comments on my poetry? Have received some feedback on my poetry I would like to thank the person that gave it. How do I do this?

Hi, Where I Belong If you read Where I Belong, please advise on whether or not I should continue to post poetry here. I would still like to be considered part of this group, at least occasionally.

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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!

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

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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.

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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

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

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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?

monotetra collaboration anyone? Not sure where there's a disconnect
Just thought don't need audience

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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.

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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!

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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.

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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!

monotetra collaboration anyone? 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!
