Happy

(not truly a Diminished Hexaverse. In error, I counted words instead of syllables) Consistent happiness exists as possibility when one halts all preoccupation with outer, worldly sought fulfillment to instead turn minds inward towards authentic heart conceived joy. One must first acknowledge where happiness is experienced – its only true place – inside our receptive hearts. When one’s mind is heart centered, joy pours forth. Minds heart held, hold happy. ...

Don't fret, Caycay. I mess up like that at least once or twice a month. There ought to be a form named which lets us use word count instead of syllable. I like that just as much!!

Well, I definitely diminished the Diminished Hexaverse!

Hi, Caycay. Wish I had seen this earlier to let you know about the syllables. This was a GREAT poem. Like me, you chose something happy! Congrats in the contest. I am barely starting comments. I spent two hours for lunch and watching True Detective, one of the best HBO series I have ever seen!!!

LOVE all past seasons of True Detective, and the current one started out sizzling, so I'm with you - just not literally (I'd talk too much during the show probably.)

CayCay, your poem is beautiful, It does not matter about the word/syllable confusion, it is the words that matter in poetry, well done my friend !

Thank you, Charlie, BUT I did the form wrong, right here, in front of the whole world, I did it wrong! I'm one lucky girl that my poem was appreciated despite misreading about the form. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thank you, Alexis, but I don't deserve it - I got the form wrong and sooo wish someone had pointed that out to me! I appreciate you, always ... CayCay

Hi Caycay, I loved your poem. However you did not follow the syllable count. A DH has 5 syllables, 5 lines, 4 syllables, 4 lines and so on. But worthy of a placement. Thanks for entering my contest. Best Wishes.. Charlie

I can't believe you placed me when I behaved so stupidly! Despite reading your directions and those under Poetry Forms, I thought it was 5 lines/5 words, 4 lines/4 words, etc.!! It's syllables, oh me - I really can read. I feel I cannot call my form a Diminished Hex now. Thank you for placing me despite such an obvious misinterpretation on my part. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Why didn't someone tell me that I did the form incorrectly (rhetorical question)! Thank you for your positive comments. Poetry hugs and mistakes ... CayCay
