Notes About The Poem

Ethereal Bliss - Minuanetta

Ethereal Bliss

Your long pretty limbs and shapely trunk defy
Rings, occult within, unseen by the naked eye.
Rooted as saplings we've grown tall, you and I.
Bending in strong winds in chaos we try
To feel a calming peace from our sunset sky.

Like my car's engine, the gasoline you require
Revs your classy motor with love to aspire.
A premium fillup adds sweet fuel to your desire,
Then you make that purring sound I so admire.

Like melting snow with the heat of your heart
You melt me, then drown me in love's divine art,
A destiny sanctified right from the start.

As a shooting star blazes through outer space,
I see it's soft shimmering light on your face.

Rose petal soft lips share a sensuous kiss.

Entranced by the sight of the moon rising high
While leaves play a susurrate song in choir,
A drum shares its tune as my heart plays its part. 
My shoes and her heels dance with such grace
Assuaging my awareness of ethereal bliss.

MINUANETTA - Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Gregory R. Barden

chremamorphism theme

Minuanetta is comprised on at least SIX stanzas, each stanza consistent with itself in rhyme, and decreasing in the number of lines with each stanza, with the final stanza created of one line of the rhyme of each stanza ... in short a rhyme scheme of (at least) AAAAA, BBBB, CCC, DD, E, ABCDE. It must have a least this many lines, (20), but you can add more, as long as you follow the same form, (and you may add a final, separate tag line, if you wish, but it must rhyme with the last line or repeat it in whole or in part) ...

Just think you.. would write a fabulous poem since you went through the false alarm fright :( Connie Marcum Wong February 18, 2018 at 8:08 PM I have been so busy. I'm getting ready to going to the hospital to have a knee replacement so I haven't even had much time to make any comments here at Soup because of all my doctor appointments. I was also having so much trouble with the pop-ups that I couldn't even read or make a comment for about three days. It is fixed now. I understand others have been having some problems too. Thank you for the encouraging words! : )
