write. Matches up nicely with the smile in your profile pic. Brought me a grin, too. A thing I never have too much of.

Thanx,
Chuck

PS: May I suggest another line to contribute symmetry, as in, for one example:

Love is about the due
Between the two
Not the Boo
Or resting after the best
Between his hairy chest
[As you might have guessed]

Very interesting. Not familiar with symmetry. Maybe you can give me a few tips on writing a poem with this style as the theme. glad it brought a grin. was looking for a bit of humor when I wrote it. will consider.

This is cute and flirtatious, I like it!

Always, Cat

the word balance instead of symmetry.

Love is about the due
Between the two
Not the Boo
Or resting after the best
Between his hairy chest
As you might have guessed

I see you’ve added the suggested line. Looks good. Adds not only the balance I looked for, but an extra flip of flirt. Something I did not anticipate.

A good thing.
Gives it more life.
I’m glad it
worked out OK.

Your original contained three rhyming lines in a row, then two to end. The revised balances perfectly with three rhyming lines in a row with the end sound of -oo followed by three rhyming lines with the sound of -est.

Another example of balance comes into play in my four-line free verse in this comment—the one a few lines back that starts out with “A good thing.” Note the first and third lines contain three syllables; the second and fourth hold four each.

I think balance an important factor in writing. Or considering whether good poetry really is good poetry. Usually. But especially when writing/judging rhyming poetry.

Thanx,
Chuck

Thanks for the tip. I need to learn more about poetry rather than just writing for the enjoyment of writing.
