Karen Jones Poet Terza Rima

Notes About The Poem

Written April 4 2026 for contest Write A Beautiful Terza Rima sponsored by Constance LaFrance 

On Top of the World

Walk with me holding hands in forest green
Breathing in the jasmine wind
Like blue jay’s song soul sings

Psalm that lift hearts to heaven where love mends
Curing cabin fever mountain a fountain free
Flowing glowing where love and nature blend

Together united so peacefully 
Butterflies dotting blue sky 
Living fulfilling wildest dreams gleefully 

Making memories to treasure for life
Keeping us warm even when cold 
On one knee asking to be my wife

For you complete my longing soul
Anywhere you are I want to go

Gershon Wolf April 4, 2026 at 9:09 PM Your description fills the contest's description -- to overflowing. Lovely penning, Karen. ~ Gershon Karen Jones April 5, 2026 at 12:57 AM Thanks so much! I’m wondering what’s wrong with it that Valsa saw. The instructions say near rhyme allowed. lol oh well.

Valsa George April 4, 2026 at 8:50 AM The poem is sweetly romantic. Enjoyed reading it. This being your first attempt at terza rima, the faulty rhyming can be excused. Karen Jones April 4, 2026 at 9:20 AM Tell me what I did wrong! I thought I followed the pattern!

Victor Buhagiar April 4, 2026 at 3:50 AM I wrote few poems in terza rima. I find them difficult as my rhyme is sometimes faulty. You did well. Quite romantic too. Best for a win. Karen Jones April 4, 2026 at 5:11 AM This was hard! It’s my first time doing this style. Thank you!
