Richard Lamoureux Poet I do not know?

Understepping Poem One

I look in your eyes and my heart breaks.
How will I remove you from my mind?
I would Never have imagined such pain.
How will I Love with this broken heart.
You have made me this shell of a man.
I can not explain the way I feel
I know I will never love again.

Read first word first line
Second word second line
Third word third line
Forth word fourth line
Fifth word fifth line
Sixth word sixth line
Seventh word Seventh line
Nine Sylables per line including understepping line

I would like to call this form Understepping because
of the underlying message stepping down with each line..
Here we have a poem within a poem.

Andrea Dietrich December 28, 2012 at 5:04 PM ok, I GOT IT. Easier than I expected, and I really love the secret message of this. Richard Lamoureux December 28, 2012 at 7:04 PM Thanks again Andrea, I look forward to your visits, you are so encouraging.

Vicky Tsiluma December 27, 2012 at 11:56 PM I love it Richard! The steps and the particular syllables- great. The idea of searching for a hidden meaning is clever because you wouldn't want to make it too obvious. And the name works too! And that it merges well with the whole poem is a huge plus. So it gets an overall great! It's wonderful to see a brilliant mind at work! Richard Lamoureux December 28, 2012 at 9:37 AM You flatter me my dear. Thanks for making my day. I hope you give it a try.

Essie Ig December 27, 2012 at 10:13 AM tres bien!!!! Richard Lamoureux December 27, 2012 at 10:53 AM thanks

Harry Horsman December 27, 2012 at 10:04 AM the poem stand very well on it's own, seen some what a similar form before, where reading words across down, start and end, but not sure i've seen one stepped before, as i say good poem in it's own rights. the words that form the steps, could be the title of the poem? Richard Lamoureux December 27, 2012 at 10:53 AM It started that way as the title but then you would lose the fun of finding the message that is imbedded.

Poet Destroyer A December 26, 2012 at 9:07 PM Richard, A SAD AND DEEP FEEL... oh what love! we give and break... I like what you did here... i do not know if this is a form already.. I'd seen a poet do this one time, where they took a verse.. and then wrote a line for each word... you did yours perfect.... you should offer this to the soup...I like it... if I was a dare devil... I'd try one out myself.. maybe you should run a contest... and call it... "NINERS" lol...kidding...pd Richard Lamoureux December 27, 2012 at 8:27 AM Thanks Linda I may do that.
