Daisy Love - a Waltz Wave

He loves me, he loves me not - soft white petals float to the ground as the young lass seeks her destiny. She plucks the final petal and laughs with joy! He loves me! 3/23/21 This form is called a Waltz Wave for Leo Waltz, editor of Sol Magazine. It is a single stanza of 19 lines, no rhyme scheme and the syllable count is as follows: 1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,1.

I love this for three reasons - 1. It is jazzy, 2. I have a seven year old granddaughter named Daisy, and 3. I am thrilled you wrote down the syllable count. I am going to try a Waltz Wave now.
