At 1st glance, seems simple enough for anyone to write but it's extremely eloborate |
A girl; a friend— A companion; a woman. A pain; a sigh— An emotion; a cry. A hidden beauty; a smile— A person; a particular profile. An invitation; a sensation; An image both inside and outside the imagination. An inclination; a violation; A celebration; a trial. A distant destination; a mile. An intimate touch; a style all of her own eye. A voice down the hall; a telephoned reply. A warm mid summer night, us all alone; A part of my life—what once was but now has gone. Note: The entitled “What It Was, Was What It Meant” was written using a bound verse form I call a “Word Sequence Scheme” in the following pattern – AA B AA BBB AA B AAA (WSS) – with the first word of each line repeated and represented by the letters A and B. This particular poem, as the sequence pattern demonstrates, has been perfectly balanced and structurally symmetrical. The pattern is as follows: aabb cc aaa cc bb aa (RS) – which shows a combination of 2 Quatrains, 1 Triplet, and 2 Couplets which also show a symmetrical pattern themselves. Also, arranged and showing a symmetrical form is the # of statements per line. This pattern is arranged as follows: 2222222 1 2222222. All lines make 2 statements except for the line in the very center of the poem, which makes 1, distinguishing itself from the rest of the poem. All this combines to make for a single poem simultaneously following three original bound verse (triple bound) forms all of which imitate a symmetrical pattern!!! This is a very elaborate and unique form. I wish this poetry to be considered by you and I hope that you will appreciate it for it’s complete originality. |
