Moonstruck Mystere

Battling the waves
of an ocean that sways
to and fro in ever search
of a place of mirth.

And those who dare
face her moonstruck mystere
Will know the price
it takes to reach paradise.

Their spirit will be aglow
By the life they've come to know
They no longer fear death
for they breathe the heavens' breath.

Life is like an ocean
in constant motion
As we brave her character
We will inherit the earth.

Really like the analogy between life and the motion of the sea, Caroline. Love the way you convey emotions so creatively and this poem is breathtaking in its wisdom. My time here is limited by my physical therapist's order, but I just had to check in on my favorite writers for a few minutes. Much love, Carolyn

a great write, well written. thank you for your advice but that is the way i wrote it, if i want to it to rhyme i would have written it that way. i Don't go by forms, that takes away my creations, if it comes out that way then find. I know you are only trying to help.

So true: Life is like an ocean in constant motion! But sometimes it could also be a desert, vast and empty. But I prefer the ocean picture of life. Nicely penned! À bientôt...und alles Gute!....Gert:)

Hi Caroline cool Quatrain..I see you used all one rhyme scheme. As you mentioned in my quatrain I used a couple. I actually thought one could do that with this form. But come to think of it I believe that was the sonnet. Oh well will know better next time. Thanks. Also the brake in "braking muse report" is supposed to be that way as in stopping -- driving through the scenery .. braking as applying the brakes. Pun intended as is Muse for news. Thanks again

Thank you for your comment, Robert! Yeah, I did use one rhyme scheme, as that is what I believe a quatrain should be like. I guess that is the technique part, I think the art part is more important anyway, and yours did evoke quite well what you wanted to convey. Hope you don't mind my honest reviews. I wish more people would do that on my poetry, because it would improve in this art of writing better. Caroline.
