Metre Poems | Examples


Premium MemberMetre-oracled

Let metephors flow..while images rhyme, unstructure find
My focus. As 'thoughts whirl in sublime.' Let shiver the ether' come all.. Come what? this May.' Into June..Nay
Through a years run.'May  poetic licence; and richest expressive..
Be on full display.'

Unsmart Metre

I’ll apologise here at the start
For this verse won’t appeal to your heart.
So banal, it’s a shame
But I’ll shoulder the blame
’Cos it's not rude, nor funny, nor smart!

Epic

The blade buried     beneath the burning.
Old hopes lost, back    in the lash of battle.
One man walks      along the winded mount,
Turning slowly,      the sun-silvered seas
Draw his heart     horizon-ward, his eyes
Focus in search     of the lone fluttering sail,
The boat that bears     his bloodied King
Away from heavy war     forged ruin and waste,
Across the widening      waters. Taken to
The healing houses     of the Holy Isle.
Once flowing banners     torn down, bitter flood
Of his enemies' hate     hastening to undo
The loyal legacy.     One still loves.
His fate not to     fight hard, and fall
At the side of     his sovereign Lord.
Ordered and honoured     to keep heart-hope alive.
Over gorse crowned cliffs     he carries away
The heavy stewardship    of the infant prince.
His ward now to     watch and rear, until
His time is full ready     to revenge his father's fall.

Ch'I-Yen-Shih Metre - I Am Brave

i chase the sun, on bare feet.
one thought i have, the sun stays.
no cloud to hide, my dim route,
for death, it hides, feel it's gaze!

one day I walk, smooth ground run.
mind rocks and sand, the track hides
eyes seek out cracks, could mean some
food, tum needs grub, each step bides

i have cool drinks, streams quench thirst.
a time to rest, i must think
a cold front seen, yet well far,
i hear it roar, cloud still pink

the storm now close, a cave seen
dark clouds a flash, in the cave
safe sleep it calls, next day waits
it comes no sun, i am brave!

Premium MemberMusings On Poetic Metre, Rhythm, and Song

Rhythm’s a trick of deft poets,
     who know the pulses of their feet
give lines their tempo. And so it’s
     like a poem’s pulsating heartbeat;
it’s hypnotic (and you know it’s
     metric),—so drink in its potent beat!

When one hears a song’s rich measure
     (the crests and troughs of its music,
the ebb and flow of its leisure),
     it tunes like a score symphonic, 
an orchestra of paced pleasure  
     with a sound and style that’s epic!
