YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS (Monotetra)

Inspired by the word 'photographs'.

 

Your photographs are all I keep I keep them all so I won't weep I weep when thoughts of you go deep Take out this heap, take out this heap. Your photographs are memories Memoirs of you that keeps my peace My peaceful days are mine, at least You give me ease, you give me ease. Your photographs remind of you You seem so near, you always do Do you believe, you make me blue Each time you go, each time you go? So please, my dear, stay with me Stay with me and let me see See how our love can make us free A love to be, a love to be.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I love the flow of the poem, it brings your colorful expression of emotions even more vibrant. Well done I say, well done.

Thank you so much, kind cowboy. Nice avatar of you there. =)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are welcome… and thank you, that is me rocking out cowboy style.

Dhaye, that was neat, I liked the repeat at the end of each stanza. Is that a certain type of poetry (like a Senryu)?

[Dhaye]

It is called Monotetra, Eddie. Monotetra contains four lines in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight syllables.The last line contains two metrical feet, repeated. It can have one stanza or many stanzas.

Poem format:
Line 1: 8 syllables
Line 2: 8 syllables
Line 3: 8 syllables
Line 4: 8 syllables with repetition

I have two poems here written in this form: PLEASE STAY WITH ME and WHERE ARE YOU NOW.

Thank you for reading, Eddie. Glad you like this simple form of poetry from this page.

The best part about reading your poetry (other then, of course, your outstanding poems) is learning new forms of poetry. We really didn't learn much in High School about various types of poems.

I also learned through surfing the internet, Eddie...and by reading others' poetry. Actually, I made my first Monotetra because of a piece I have read from Ms. Jewel's page. Other forms were products of research and practice.
