Notes About The Poem

 A twist in love - Tail rhyme in 6 lines.

Ship Ahoy Amor! POTD

Her cinematic poetry
In alchemist’s laboratory
Sealed love letters tell her story,
                       inked forevermores.
Surrendering his aching heart
Stark whining sounds when they're apart
She’s not his only from the start,
                       's off to other shores!

Very interesting usage of. " 's off" [he's off] counts as 1 syllable, to other shores...5 syllables as required, as well as exact rhyme . [5 syllable Tails] . A great example of this poetic license is George Gershwin's " 'S Wonderful".

Duke, hope you are doing well, protesters have it hard, in this winter's storm. I've posted in notes the screenshot of real, 100% Human AI detection, which 'I began doing' on " A Pall Descends Upon Moments Cabaret" entry, back when 'I started doing it' on 10/17/2025! LOS- lot's of smiles! TyVm for the awesome review~keep warm

Precious. I see you got a non-Artificial-Ink (AI) POTD, congratulations. btw, I finally figured out what you meant by 'must be 5 syl', you were referring to the first tail-rhyme, rhyme-tail, whatever in my poem for the contest (you probably don't remember.) I got there!!! Great content in your poem, Anaya

' She’s off to other shores. ' Such a sad life, indeed. Not only for her, but, for each encounter she's embraced. You've expressed this emotion and the moment very well, Anaya. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Thx, Brandy! Whether she's fallen for the player, in this case he's off to other shores, someone's heartbroken. Lover's cruel games. Warm wishes~ hugs
