A Kiss Under the Mistletoe

A kiss under the mistletoe 
Something that I have never felt 
Not much, I’d be ready to go
But the cards have not been dealt

I can imagine the moment
A kiss under the mistletoe
Would the feeling be permanent
Would the entire world then glow

So many things I still don’t know
Searching my head and heart each day
A kiss under the mistletoe
With the chance I wouldn’t delay

No coal eyes, scarf, or a top hat
Maybe there isn’t enough snow
I can still do better than that
A kiss under the mistletoe

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/13/2013 8:58:00 AM aha, now I am seeing my comments and I saw how you had found my latest post. It's good to see one of your poems again, Wayland. It looks like you have been busy writing too. I have done a few quaterns in my time. They are such fun. Love how you did your mistletoe kiss topic in this form!

Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/13/2013 8:09:00 AM Very cool, I like this form I'll have to give it a try. Login to Reply Wayland Bunch Date: 12/13/2013 11:58:00 AM Thank you so much for your comments and reading my work.

Debbie Guzzi Date: 12/12/2013 7:24:00 PM Nope the final leap was to die and see what comes next! ;) They became a vampire instead. There's a form which does this hmmm [move the line 1 down everytime] BRB Light & Love Login to Reply Debbie Guzzi Date: 12/13/2013 7:28:00 AM wow DUH to me, you totally nailed it! Wayland Bunch Date: 12/12/2013 8:38:00 PM Yeah it's the form I'm using here the Quatern. It's 8 syllables per line, and repeats the first line in first stanza, as second line in second, third in third, and last in last. Four stanzas, I would say quatrains, but no rhyme is required, although I like to rhyme abab throughout. Debbie Guzzi Date: 12/12/2013 7:26:00 PM can't find it but the Terzanelle does something similiar

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 12/12/2013 7:13:00 PM - A sweet kiss - lovely poem. - Luck in contest! - oxox // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Wayland Bunch Date: 12/12/2013 8:39:00 PM Thanks for your comment.

Joseph Sergi Date: 12/12/2013 6:02:00 PM I like how you injected the line in each stanza. Good Luck in the contest. Login to Reply Wayland Bunch Date: 12/12/2013 7:00:00 PM It's actually the form, The quatern has that repetition pattern, I just highlighted each one so that someone would see what I meant about the form. Thank you for visiting and thanks for the comment.
