Dimensions of Love

Dimensions of Love Love begins newfound hope. Brings dreams reality cherishes. Great desire pleasing two, Joy thriving everlastingly, esteemed. © November 14, 2010 Dane Smith-Johnsen Dedicated to Constance, the Rambling poet for an inspiring contest. (I missed the contest, though.) New Poetic Form: Grid Poetry In grid poetry, the number of lines in the poem equals the number of words in each line. The poem in order to be complete must be read horizontally, as usual, and then vertically. Diagonal readings reflect the title as demonstrated below. The VERTICAL reading written horizontally reads as follows: Love brings great joy Begins dreams, desire thriving. Newfound reality pleasing everlastingly, Hope cherishes two, esteemed. The DIAGONAL readings, which reflect the title, are as follows: Love dreams pleasing, esteemed. Hope. Reality. Desire. Joy.

Dane Ann, I think this new form is just wonderful and so creative, and thanks so much for dedicating it to me, I just love it, but I think it is challenging, I am sorry you missed entering it in my contest, but let me say, it is a winner... Love Constance
