O, One Day You Will Ask (Rhymethor)

Welcoming misty spring The Bluebells, sweetly, ring Come quickly and listen The love songs of Eden Listen or you will miss The transition of this Sleepy, sleepy winter To a spring of wonder The love songs of Eden Come quickly and listen The Bluebells, sweetly, ring Welcoming misty spring Missing it, one day you’ll ask, “Where did my heart go?” Note: Rhymethor is a poetic form with a title of 6 syllables, 3 rhyming stanzas of 6 syllables, (rhyme scheme: aabb, ccdd, bbaa) and an inverted 3rd stanza of the 1st stanza, with a concluding line of 12 syllables, representing the total number of lines. Hello soupers, Hope you’re enjoying my craziness of inventing such structured (crazy?) poetic forms…lol. Btw, Rhymethor is “Rhyme me, Thor!” my wife’s phrase. She yelled me this while I was writing a poem. She said I’ve no time for her, cos of my passion. So, what I did I stopped my writing and I rhymed her…lol! You see, I’m crazy!

I think I get slightly more and more impressed every time I read another Souper's poetry. This poetry form is creative and I love that you explained it. I'm also someone that is like the constant editor and I noticed your rules while I was reading it. I love the way you came up with the name and I would love to try out your form, especially if you get to be official on the site. Congratulations on placing in the constant with your creative form!
