Poem

the softness of her osculating,
doth set my mind ablaze!
my blood doth boil, percolating.

my thoughts, do me amaze!
nigh on a half of a century,
perambulated, true loves maze!

finding niches, O yes, aplenty!
culdesacs, joy, momentarily bliss!
her eyes begged, but patiently.

every chance we did take a kiss,
knowing that mazes can be solved,
hoping that the exit we would miss.

true loves maze passionately involved
three children, true loves maze resolved.

Poetry Definition of Terza Rima
Terza rima is a verse form composed of iambic tercets (three-line groupings). The rhyme scheme for this form of poetry is "aba bcb cdc, etc." The second line of each tercet sets the rhyme for the following tercet and thus supplying the verse with a common thread, a way to link the stanzas. The only time the form changes is at the conclusion of the poem, where the terza rima ends with either a single line or couplet repeating the rhyme of the middle line of the final tercet (like d or dd). There is no limit to the number of lines, (tercets), in terza rime.

Added as the majority of exceptionally good poetry found listed under Terza Rima, don't conform. I hasten to add that I mention this for the sake of aspiring poets who would probably think its okay to classify un rhyming tercets plus a missing last line/couplet as T.R's, or am I missing something? The link, as can be seen, will take one to the PoetrySoup dictionary defining the form.
