Lagniappe Of Expression

Evocative lines bring tears to the eyes. Plethora of metaphors makes men think. Emollient words soothe someone in his cries. Furtive reading lets not mind quit and blink. As the brain broods the troubles that arise, No way will confidence dwindle or shrink. Ineffable happiness of the heart Allows not the sad soul to fall apart. ©? bfa 021024

Thanks for sharing this, Kababayan... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hi, Kabayan -:} I don't know this form - but without looking at the rules, as a poem, it feels dark and somber. Are these forms really in this mood. Anyway, it follows the rhyming of ababcc. Further than that, I don't think I'm capable to critique.
