Poetry From the Heart

Poetry from the heart Chimes like a silver bell, resounding in my soul brightens up every day, my spirit is made whole. Poetry from the heart Sounds like a golden bell, Ringing pure vibrant tone Announces your wedding, Ringing tone in your phone. Poetry from the heart Tolls like an old bronze bell, Sharing our liberty To speak and write boldly Asserts our right to be. Poetry from the heart Dwells like an iron bell, Solid, touching us deep Shares common emotions Memories we will keep. [POETRY]> THIRD PLACE WINNER Written April 3, 2022 [Syllables with HMS; Rhymes with RhymeZone] For “Form M – Monchielle” poetry contest Sponsored by Constance La France

Never heard of this form before but it's obvious you've mastered it. Brilliant penning, Milt!:-) Congratulations in advance, my friend. I was expecting a Monoku and Constance threw a curveball, teeheehee. I'll try my best.

Ah, thanks Edward. You'll do fine. I had heard of this form before, think I'd written two or three of them, so I had a bit of a head start. I hope she likes it.

The bell tolls for thee ~ amazing write, Milt, this one will be difficult to beat!

Ah! Even as sponsors judge, why’d words we fudge as portrayal, if it entails soul betrayal?

Oh, I don't know, Unseeking. Whenever I write something I think is pretty good and submit it to a contest I always get brought down a few notches!

Thank you, Terry, I was writing for Constance's contest. It is an interesting form, a bit like a quintilla.

ooh this looks complicated Milton, I've just had a peek at the contest, I've never seen the form before I think you have aced it:-) hugs Jan xx

I don't know about that, Jan. I had written three of them in the last year or so, but I can't say it's a popular one with me. I gave it the old college try!

Nice one, Milt - I like this form, joyful, short lines are nice, and this one has a nice ring to it. :-)

Thanks so much, Jeff. It's not a form that is high on my list. I think I have written three or four of them previously, but it's not really a form that comes to mind when I have a theme. Oh, well.....
