(Two merged poems that read together or separately) A tender smile, a fleeting glance, Eyes that meet to touch the soul Missed beats of hearts and minds in trance, A deepened sense of something whole. To feel that urge, beyond control, To share all things of mind and heart Bring warmth and comfort to the soul, And of the whole become a part. Within each aura’s brilliant glow, A touch of closeness, heartfelt rays Spring surge of passions that bestow, Warm radiance of inner blaze. Strong flowing currents charged with fire Bathe in the light of endless glow That fan and feed true love’s desire, A current sparked with- constant flow. Surrender fear, lay each soul bare, Two beating hearts, as one, to care, Soon bond as one love to declare... Two open souls, in silence, share.

Congrats on your win, Sandra. I love this form, each poem could stand on its own but together they create something beautiful, perhaps like two people in love. John

Sandra, thank you for introducing me to the Contrapuntal form. Each and every line feels natural and uncontrived, and each line beautifully dovetails with the next. It even reads well backwards! I have to Fav it :) Congratulations on your win on Mile 20 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon Contest! Thank you so much for supporting my contests. By continuing to place in the contests you are accumulating points toward the final. ~Mark

Hi Sandra, That was clever of you to combine/intermingle two different poems. It was though I was reading one poem. I found this piece to be very romantic. Congratulations on your 1st place win. It was well deserved:-) Alexis

I noticed in her example for us, she did not rhyme the longer lines. But I think it's a cool way to do it.

Sandra Haight
Date: 10/20/2017 7:47:00 AM

Yes, Andrea...a little confusing. The contest called for "a rhyme within a rhyme" so that is what I composed. We will see....

I think you really nailed that form, Sandra and very beautifully!!
