Notes About The Poem

Lovers' Feast:

Passions burn in the depth of night, Lovers yearning to be entwined, Against the wind these birds own flight, A trail hidden it's hard to find. Emotions soar high out of sight, As love explodes in hearts so warm, They hold each other close and tight, Embraced they lay in loving form. This is how love can be for most, Ever daunting to say the least, But when it's found it's grandiose, So succulent thy lovers' feast. In their arms lie and be adored, And feel the fires as they once roared. (Eight syllables per line)

Hey WW for me your poem conjures up the image of that famous sculpture of the lovers embrace or the kiss I am not sure but the resemblance is so strong.

Beautiful poem, Rick. Makes me think of the Michael Franks song, "Eye of the Storm." Your pen is flowing the gold ink still. Love this poem. Many blessings to you, Rick.

I love writing in 8 syllables, 8/6, 10/8, 10/11, 10/12, 11, 12.. Each one brings its own unique challenge. This is a very well composed Quatrain my friend manages to pack so much in such few words! Great work!

Excellent Rick. Beautifully worded and well put together. Love the phrase "Against the wind these birds own flight". It made me think of the eagles in their mating dance in the sky. Beautiful to behold. Great job. God Bless, JB

Very cool my friend, this was mesmerizingly beautiful. Just curious though, have you ever tried writing one with an odd number of syllables per line?
Wolf Avatar
December 13, 2016 at 3:54 PM
Yes, I did one called 'Thou art' has 11 syllables! /|\
