( Tanka Duo)
Magnificent great homes
Fill'd of much history and beauty
Majestic jewels
Fill with many memories
Some so good some so bad
Sun is going down
Ancient walls show amidt oak trees
Many stand so tall
Surviving time many wars
Elegant homes exuding such grace.

- Mark Twain
~Author's Notes:
"The Tanka" is a classic Japanese poetry form or style that's related to the Haiku.
I hold my soft kitten tight, we will sleep through the night. Dreams of you and me with a big red kite, we will run in mom's garden before the morning light. The yellow sun is coming up bright, we must get out of sight.

I do not know the different forms of poetry
To be honest I have no desire to ascertain
So many forms and so complicated
To much confusion for my lazy brain!
I just like to write my thoughts down
A combination of heart and mind
About life and all it encompasses
Usually in a rhyme
I love reading poetry
Be it fiction or the real deal
Humorous, heartfelt, serious, dark,
Topics or opinions on how poets feel
I respect poets who love a challenge
Who appreciate the varied poetry forms
But for me just reading the names of them
Leaves my brain all tattered and torn!
Qawwali, Jueju ,Concrete
Munajat, Vogon,Tyburn, Grook
Only a handful of many
Like words out of a science fiction book!!
My personal preference is to keep it simple
Avoiding forms like Diamanté or Suzette Prime
Continuing to pen my poems
In just good old fashioned Ryhme !
Addicted to romance, I’ve tried in vain
to resurrect the unrestrained delight
I felt so long ago one summer night -
excitement of the type no one can feign.
I had it once, and I could not abstain
from tasting it. It made my soul take flight.
Then back to earth I plummeted. I write
to bring it back because it has been slain.
Romance is destined not to be revived.
It’s slain by woes and all that’s commonplace.
Life’s demons stole it; now I feel deprived.
It’s drained from me! I miss its fond embrace.
And so with poetry I have contrived
to bring it back. Alas – a useless chase.
Aug. 26, 2019 for Emile Pinet's Eight Word Challenge Poetry Contest
The 8 words used in this Italian Sonnet in order of how they appear: addicted/ vain/ abstain/ slain/ destined/ woes/ demons/ drained
Note: I do not know why poetrysoup does not correctly identify the rhyme pattern of the second stanza of this poetry form. The first part is abbaabba. Here is what Google says for the finishing sestet: Some of the most common rhyme schemes for the sestet are cdecde, cdcdcd, cddcdd, and cddece. My preference is cdcdcd.
So in truth my heart is filled up;
Douse with pangs of hurts and miss-trust;
What is it that I live up?
My heart is full, It’s do or die I must;
As I reverence in my inhaling;
Breathing up the unveiling;
My chances are, my chances are;
My heart is full, of deceitful lies;
As I cry
Falling are mind tears from my eye
My heart is full, I’m alive and my blood flows…
On-
from the top of my head to my bleeding toes;
Sadden yet still worrying, fill up yes my heart is full;

Placed 13th in Contest
I'm intrigued by what there may be
'neath great depths of ocean and sea
Treasures lost from life's history
A mystery A mystery
What's buried under ocean sands
Pirate's plunder and wedding bands
I dream of finding pearls in strands
With my two hands With my two hands
Ancient vessels, sunken for years
found off the sea coast of Algiers
admired by Mesdames and Messieurs
Toasted with cheers Toasted with cheers
I'd drain one mile of a river
just one briny little sliver
What will its waters deliver?
Would I shiver? Would I shiver?
What secrets do the oceans keep?
Do monsters swim or do they creep?
I long to execute a sweep
In fathoms deep In fathoms deep
Curiosity in me wakes
To dive within uncharted lakes
and sea beds risen from earthquakes
How high the stakes How high the stakes
But sunken relics from the past
remain interred in oceans, vast
Bounty from ships with broken mast
My dream downcast My dream downcast

Poetry Form - Monotetra
In the Sacrament of the altar
Lord meets us
Men and women created in God’s image and likeness
Becomes our companion along the way
In this sacrament
The Lord becomes food for us
Satisfy our hunger for truth and freedom
Father Christ becomes for us the food of truth, since only truth can make us free
.
With deep human insight
St. Augustine clearly showed how we are moved spontaneously
Not by constraint
Whenever we encounter something attractive and desirable
Asking himself, what it is that can move us most deeply?
The saintly Bishop went on to say:
“What does our soul desire more passionately than the truth?”
Everyone of us has innate and irresponsible desire for ultimate and definitive truth, the Lord Jesus, “the way, and truth, and the life”
Speaks to our thirsting, pilgrim hearts
Hearts yearning for the source of life
Hearts longing for truth
Father Christ is the truth in person
Drawing the world to Himself
The Sacrament of the Eucharist
Father Christ shows us in particular the truth about love
The very essence of Eternal God
It is evangelical truth which challenges each of us and our whole being
The Church, which finds in the Eucharist the very center of her life
Constantly, concerned to proclaim that Eternal God is love
Father Christ has become for us the food of truth
Church turns to every man
Woman
Inviting them freely
To accept Eternal God’s gift

~And Then Again~
( Trine )
I just love smelling the roses with all their sweet delicious perfume
Enjoy watching them in front of me thrive and then just full bloom
Pretty multi-colored butterflies hover and drink from the top
It's so sad when I see one by one the roses' petals fall just drop
Then I hear a very loud sound coming from up above the sky
And the rain starts to fall so hard and the clouds seem to cry
Then the sun completely hides and in its place I hear another loud boom
But I know that sunshine again will come back when all this rain will just stop
And then hopefully once more lovely roses will bloom and beautiful butterflies again will fly.

(Sonnetina Rispetto)
In my mind you're here day and night
For some time you brought in sunlight
Now each day I just think of you
Non-stop my heart for you will cry
No matter what I do and try
Even when your love makes me blue
In my mind you're here day and night
For some time you brought in sunlight.
Without you now empty's my heart
It's all broken, just torn apart
Now each day I just think of you
Even when your love makes me blue
In my mind you're here day and night
For some time you brought in sunlight.

Seems like forever since I saw you last,
my dreams died when I was in your arms,
I knew you'd betray me, but never that fast,
I know the secret to your sharp-witted charm.
You blew me away like a kite in the cloud,
you insinuated I'd be the one to leave,
you were way too filthy and way too proud,
your actions are what brought me to believe.
you..preoccupied
me...forgotten like the wind
us...lost in failure
I know the secret to your sharp-witted charm,
seems like forever since I saw you last.
you've arrested me twice both times unarmed,
you threw me out like yesterday's trash.
Your actions is what brought me to believe,
you blew me away like a kite in the cloud,
what was the mission you wanted to achieve?
I always knew you were arrogant and proud.
Egotistical head
cleverly narcissistic
bring nothing but pain
***I don't know if this is a poetry form or not, but I wanted to try something different***
