Bernardo F. Asuncion Poet Ottava rima

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.

Beata Agustin December 10, 2024 at 7:44 PM 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.

Josefina Costales February 19, 2024 at 2:43 PM 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. Bernardo F. Asuncion July 19, 2024 at 11:14 AM Thanks po, dear Ma'am Josie for your comment. I really appreciate it po. Ottava Rima po allows poets to create poems of any mood. God bless po and keep safe.
