Over the Horizon, Dedicated To Andrea

Over The Horizon, Dedicated To Andrea Beyond normal sight and imagination Tho' perhaps a dear new sensation. Hidden rainbows kiss blue skies shall we issue cries? Love begs not Lies to thus blot out what truth decries as life's greedy little tries to dismiss such new titillations. Beyond normal sight and imagination. Robert J. Lindley, 10-02-2021 Form: Andaree- Thanks given unto my friend Andrea For gifting us this truly brilliant new poetry form. This my first ever writing with this new form dedicated to its immensely talented and massively gifted creator. Mine is not displayed - as centered. Note: - Form: Andaree It is syllabic, with lines of 11/9/7/5/3/1/3/5/7/9/11 Rhyme Scheme: AabbcbcbbaA It requires a Refrain: Line 1 is repeated as Line 11. Generally displayed centered. Note: Had to list it as "Rhyme", instead of its correct list of "Andaree". Which PoetrySoup has no current listing for.

Looking back through your work, discovered this well written tribute to Andrea written in Andaree. Thoughtful tribute poem. Love the repeated line where all creation comes from and the imagery. Your new poet friend, Bill

Congratulations on your well deserved Potd honouring one of my favourite poets by using her own form. Enjoy the honour and day. Didn't see it in Potd page yesterday. Some problem with site.

Thank you my friend. Yes, it is refreshing to find wonderful new forms to write in. And this one struck me as a very fine creation! Now I will soon have to check our her, "Hexsonnetta" form. Perhaps may do so after I complete my second poem in her " Andaree" form. I am now also very busy working on my third blog in my new series- ""A Blog A Week, Honoring Each Week One Chosen Famous Poet , Second Week, ROBERT BRIDGES.""

Such a beautiful form and a wonderful poem. "Beyond normal sight and imagination, hidden rainbows kiss blue skies" There is something magical about this thought. Your words shine, my dear friend. So sweet of you to dedicate this to Andrea and the amazing form she created. Congratulations Robert, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Brandy

Thank you my friend. I was lucky to have found that form and then inspired to see if I could actually compose with any passable level using Andrea's new form. I am currently writing my seciond poem using the new form but may not finish it until tomorrow night. God bless...

Congratulations on having your poem in Andrea’s wonderful form Honored for POTD Robert. Though I love her form it was challenging for me to write one and that is all I have written is one. It was very nice of you to dedicate your poem to its creator. You did her form proud my friend! Blessings xxoo

You share in the POTD , as it is your new poetry form that set the stage for the poem to be born my friend! I had no idea what to compose but gave a lok at the form and thought the title/subject and then just let my pen just move onward.
