This is very pretty and reminds me a little of a double etheree that has been modified by being shortened, put into two parts and the bottom part reversed. Congrats on your win. Wonderful. And I love the name for the form

Mala Congrats on this new creation and your win! I liked the Mehndi bushes- although I have seen the leaves, never the bush! do they have the smell of mehndi? I should find them on my next trip to India!!

Krish, thanks so much. I lived in a house in my childhood where the garden was fenced by Mehndi bushes - my father planned the entire garden, and the fence was his idea.

Beautiful poem. Congratulations on your well deserved win. Loved your created form, will surely try for contest. Can I if inspired write more than one stanza. That is two or three merse.

Malabika Ray Choudhury

Thanks so much, Rama. The form itself requires two stanzas, Dear Friend, but not three. Love and hugs ~ Mala

Dear Natasha, So glad to read your inspiring comment. I tried this form, and thought it worked for a short descriptive verse, You are right - this is the best part of being in this site - you never stop to learn. Love ~ Mala

A great creation dear Mala. I would love to call this form, Malaverse.....KUDOS!!

Date: 8/10/2021 7:52:00 AM

That’s a great suggestion, JCB. How am I going to thank you enough! It’s a Nature-themed, descriptive, 2- stanza verse with 6 lines in each stanza, increasing syllables in lines. Love the Name! WOW! How creative you are!

I like this descriptive free verse very much. The lotus flower is a beauty. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara

It is very similar to several other forms like Kyrielle , Lanturne, and Nonette just a little different. These can be used as shape poems if centered and make bells, hours glasses, etc. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara
