Notes About The Poem

Andaree

Created by Andrea Dietrich with a rhyming scheme AaBbCbcbbaA. The first line and the last line are both the same 11- syllable line. This form decreases in line length with each line getting progressively smaller by 2 syllables until reaching the one-syllable word in the middle of the poem. Then each of the lines increase progressively by 2 syllables until the final line of eleven syllables is met: (11/9/7/5/3/1/3/5/7/9/11). The middle word should be a word very important to the theme. It appears somewhere in the title or can be the title itself and that middle word also rhymes with lines 3 4 8 and 9. Centering the poem is also recommended for an hourglass effect!

 

Being Loved

The one thing that all humans crave most of all is the feeling of being loved by a person that you love too nothing else will do that much is true it feels great when someone loves you there’s no reason to feel blue for your lonely heart has been given the one thing that all humans crave most of all (Non rhyme-Andaree)

Hello Emile!! I really like this one. You've done a magnificent job in making this "Andaree" form (from Andrea) come alive with this "True Love" theme. Superb Work, and A FAVE too!! Best Wishes, Gary
