Love anew (Bottom line try 3)

Submitted by Ian.T on Tue, 2013-09-17 18:13

Many years have fled since I looked within
That I lost the touch and sight I loved
Having turned now asking you of loving
Can we start our love in pastures greener?

Wesley's Trochaic Quatrain (Bottom Line Workshop)

Submitted by wesley snow on Tue, 2013-09-17 14:55

"Iamb" is Greek for "to attack in words". "Trochee" is Greek for "running".

Both of these forms are known as "Duble Meter" as each metric foot uses but two syllables.

Here then is my Trochaic example.

 

Don’t you think it’s keen to write Trochaic?

Here I’ve written something for the workshop.

Nothing short of drivel, but it’s metric.

Simply done, its form is but example.

 

Don’t you / think it’s / keen to / write Tro- / cha-ic?

MYTHS (meter shop)

Submitted by scribbler on Mon, 2013-09-16 22:18

There dwell within the mists of times long past
the roots of tales and myths we pass along
which help to tell us what is right and wrong
and perhaps how our future lives are cast

an attempt at iambic pentameter*

Ian's Quatrain (Bottom Line is heart shaped)

Submitted by Ian.T on Mon, 2013-09-16 04:21

I touch the way I give to you my heart
In mind my thought is clear as you seem near
To hold your love my twin in life is good
Do let me melt our inner selves now love

Yours Ian.T

Rula's iamb quatrain (Bottom Line WS)

Submitted by Rula on Mon, 2013-09-16 01:50

If only words could tell how pretty she's.
She makes the golden sun in clouds to shy.
The moon, occults its silver beams afar
and stars in niche, when Eve has crossed his sky."
