Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Qarinage

Created by Gregory R Barden - at least three verses of the following rhyme scheme, ABBACCDD + Refrain, (the refrain repeats after every verse), with syllable counts of 10,5,5,10,5,5,11,11 + 6, (6 is the refrain), and the LAST verse must have an EXTRA line of rhyme (D, 11 syllables), and an extra line of refrain, (6 syllables), that is different but rhymes.

I Feel There Is More

I recognize the subtleties of love
its reality
is easy to see.
An emotional gift sent from above
to both the frightened
and the enlightened.
I understand the desire for passion's flame
and sense how disappointment can turn to blame.
But I feel there is more.

My heart starts pounding like a thoroughbred
when I am with you
for your love is true.
And when I feel loved, my smile starts to spread
sharing sweaty palms
without any qualms.
Love is such an indescribable feeling
I bounce head over heels, from floor to ceiling.
But I feel there is more.

Love titillates my heart and smooths my soul,
and I understand
why it feels so grand.
You're the missing piece that made my heart whole
We're but flesh and bone
scared to be alone.
Love lets lonely hearts visualize heaven
gambling that fate will roll either a seven
or beat the odds with a winning eleven.
But I feel there is more 
to love than keeping score!

Connie Marcum Wong November 13, 2018 at 7:58 PM You did a remarkable job on this form that looks like a challenge to me Emile. A wonderful passionate piece that encompasses the reality of love with its contrasts. Bravo! Typo 17th line should be head over heels. Hugs, Connie Emile Pinet November 13, 2018 at 8:50 PM Thank you so much Connie, it is always a pleasure to hear from you my friend, Emile.

Caren Krutsinger November 13, 2018 at 7:09 PM Beautiful, Emile, and I adore this part: "Love titillates both my heart and my soul and I understand why it feels so grand. You’re the missing piece that made my heart whole" - that would have been enough, but it was not as you always know what to do. Emile Pinet November 13, 2018 at 8:49 PM Thanks Caren, your comments are little treasures I value my friend, Emile.
