Camoflauge in confidence

Allitirsen Form

Camoflauged in cool confidence
Claiming character of calm calibre'
Acting art in dark defense
With hidden hints within written words
Fearful thoughts ,frets through out
Masquerading, Boldly Braving
A Camoflauge of Coward Doubt

Well, Dear Fran 🌾

I am enjoying this little number in poetic homage to fears hidden within so many of us.
A very apt title and neat presentation, shooting straight from your pen's earnest mind, heart, and soul.
I respect a poem that tells it just as it is: honestly, openly, and skillfully, as so few can, but seems you had no issue doing it with spot-on alliterations and rhymes.
Seeing you've selected the Rhyming Alliterisen Style 1, and that your format is a bit different than the 7-counts per line in an aa, bb, cc, d rhyme scheme I've written in, it's quite unique. Seems your penultimate and final lines should be switched. Posted so long ago, who can know, eh? In fact, you posted this not long after the Café Admin deleted all our poems … my pen name was Rascal then, and I lost over 650 poems. I, along with many others left. It discouraged me so deeply I didn't come back until 2005 or 2006, but I'm glad I did and that I learned to backup everything, too … LOL!
Dang, Fran! Didn't mean to wander off into all that … just got to remem'bring. 🤔

"Acting art in dark defense
With hidden hints within written words" (Says so very much.)

Anyway, I alway treasure your writings … plus, you're one of the few who actually composes in the learned, power skill of structured poetical forms.
Loved it, Lady Poet … thanks for sharing you! ⁓ Richard🖌

Do you mean ''Alliterisen Form''?
Alliterisen

The Alliterisen (Complex and Rhyming), a form created by Udit Bhatia, is a simple seven-lined
poem with a specific syllable pattern and two alliterations per line. For example: Glorious Graves,
and wonderful waves. Alliteration is the succession of similar consonant sounds. They are not
recognized by spelling, but rather by sounds. The syllable structure for the Complex Alliterisen
is as follows:

1st line- x syllables
2nd line- x+2 syllables
3rd line- x-1 syllables
4th line- (x+2)-1 syllables
5th line- x-2 syllables
6th line- (x+2)-2 syllables
7th line- x syllables

I really liked this. I had to read a couple of times to get it (but that's just me) Great job - I like the cool camoflouage at the end.

OOooooh, very nice! Love the alliteration in it, makes it flow that much better, and yet doesn't make it too flowery. You balanced the perfect sounds for this poem. I commend you on a job well done.
