POETRY
Penmanship!
Joy of writing …
penmanship.
In what better ways can our lives be told,
with truest emotions and thoughts expressed,
ink blended with desire and deepest love?
Joy of writing …
Penmanship!
Imagery!
Word picture paintings …
imagery.
Onto the canvases within our minds,
grammar’s brushes stroke masterpieces prime;
upon imagination’s palette, blend
word picture paintings …
Imagery!
Metaphor!
Poetry’s living soul …
metaphor.
The keys to doors otherwise unfathomed,
grasped, or felt within the depths of one’s core;
that which breathes life into words, so they’ll dance.

I'm sure that Stella was more than delighted to see this masterpiece written with her own form, even to choose this subject to write about with it, gives it beautiful meanings and deep appreciation from You to her.
the C R A F T is in each word, verse, thought, feeling, title, letter, presentation You so generously finely laid for us, all "inclusiveness" in Your most brilliantly written last verse.
I think I can't give justice to this magnificent "Crafted Poetry".

Fortunately, Stella did seem to be quite pleased with my effort to compose in her form, and as you say, with the subject, as-well.
Thank you for reading this one and for your delightfully gratifying praise.
You've put a lovely smile on my day! ⁓ Richard : )

Most gratefully and warmly, I appreciate You for reading this unusual piece from Stella Armour's original forms repertoire.
Especially, I thank You for your expressed praise, enjoyment, and lovely compliment … brightest blessings, unto You! ⁓ Richard 🍃
A STELLANETE! I have never heard of this format before ( shocker huh) This is sparking my interest to maybe try it. I like that you chose poetry as the main subject theme. Easy, clear and smooth flowing meanings and explanations. loving the lay-out too :-) Actually, this forms seems a bit musical to me...Do you feel that?? Like it should be put to song or clapped..Of course, i love all your writings...as they seem to either hit me in the head, have my mind in a whirl, ponder endless questions or flat out hit me in the heart till I'm reduced to mush!!! yes, you know..those ones. hehe..BUT..really liking this.. :-)))

I had never heard of ti before, either.
Stella's gorgeous poem, "My Soulmate" at: http://www.writerscafe.org/Stella45/writing/ caught my eye and inspired me to give it a try, not a bad one for you, too, if you feel the urge.
I do feel the music of the form, but hers is like a symphony in comparison … be sure to read it, you'll love it.
That you love anything about my writings simply thrills me, but to know you love all of them is swoon-worthy … sighhh!
What I love most … is how you spoil me.
A big thank you HUG! ⁓ Richard ; )

You consistently exude a dignified caliber of class every time you write these forms, Richard. I'd be throwing roses at your feet, if I could. Any preference of color?
Bravo, my friend!

I appreciate your kind words and that you've selected one of poems to read and review.
Words live on and like a balm it soothes the longing heart for days long spent are but a memory of those we often yearn. Tribute to a wonderful writer/poetess.

Your warm accolades, expressed enjoyment, and appreciation of my humble effort spreads a warm smile across this craggy olde mug, as did your generous permission to compose in your amazing original form.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I agree, "What better subject than 'Poetry' could there be to compose in such a splendidly designed poetic form, eh?"
I loved every word, line, and verse that seemed to flow of its own accord from my grateful pen.
"Mastered"?
Oh-MY, Stella … I'm all a'blush!
Thank you for letting me write in your own form … I hope more will compose with it, it is such a smooth and easy pleasure, but a delightful challenge, too.
I loved it, Dear Master Poetess! ⁓ Richard : )
