With-In the Spell

Of all the stories that us poets tell
Soul's exposed, Some of Heaven – Some of Hell


You know I'm posting this for
Brian's contest but I'm totally
lost on this one - Could some
one let me know if I'm even
in the ballpark, Thanks

So much truth shared in just two lines. I especially like the concept of the last couple of words. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for your kind words regarding my poem. Karen

Michael the main key to this American Doublet form is the integral title (ie it forms a third line as it leads into the two line, ten syllable couplet) .Eg using this as an example I would make L2 'Soul’s exposed,some of heaven – some of hell' and then introduce a new title to lead in to L1.See Adelaide's example in my contest guidance.Hope this helps.Rgds Brian & thanks for your interest in my contest.

Hey there, Michael! This looks great to me! I'm no expert on this form, but it does look right (and great!) to me. :) Love, Kristin

You hit a homerun, the epigram is subdued with great effort and talent. Bro, this hit is out of the stadium. Sami
