Notes About The Poem

Author's Notes: "Angels Speak of His True Love" is an Ottava Rima Stanza that I just completed on August 5, 2018. I chose this particular poetic format since I thought it was the right fit for this specialty write, for portraying what I wanted to relate to the reader about the role the Angels play in speaking of God's true love for us, as well as Nature, here on Earth. After all, we are all part of God's eternal cosmic creation. (Gary Bateman - August 5, 2018) (Ottava Rima)

Specifications of this Ottava Rima Stanza: 8-Line (or Verse) Octave; Syllabification: 11 Syllables per verse; Total Syllable Count: 88; Rhyme Scheme: abababcc

Thematic Categories: angel, blessing, devotion, faith, god, metaphor, and symbolism.

Angels Speak of His True Love

Angels Speak of His True Love

By God’s intent, Angels speak of His true love,
For mankind and nature here on Mother Earth.
They help us find our path to Heaven above,
Whilst playing a role in our mystic rebirth.
Angels talk to us, and show us God’s true love;
They guide our souls on ascension far from Earth,
To Our Holy Father who redeems us pure,
From which no one can seek to ever abjure!

This is a very instructive piece. Since you have exactly eleven syllables per line mightn't this be a Rispetto? Just asking. Good write.

Hello Dale, Thanks for your comments and observations here. The Ottava Rima verse, although similar to the Rispetto, it consists of an eight-line octave with the "abababcc" rhyme scheme. The Rispetto is used differently and its octave is made up of two quatrains and can vary between 8 and 12 syllables and can be written in iambic tetrameter or iambic pentameter. These are format subtleties, but they do achieve different outcomes depending on the theme one writes about. Cheers, Gary
