Love's Gift

Quatrain abcd bedf egfh

From Heaven's gate I swore to follow.
You lead the way and time did pass.
Your Earthly walk starts without me,
and from Heaven's portal a path is set.

You lead the way and time did pass.
Now, our search begins at last,
and from Heaven's portal a path is set.
As a promise made illuminates the path.

Now, our search begins at last.
Souls united is our plea.
As a promise made illuminates our task,
and joining hearts, claim love's gift.

A wonderful poem shared dear Cherrie. We hope we find our proper place one day. I liked the gentle flow of words leading to the strong ending. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Good Morning, and thank you I really like this form and should break it out more often.

Good evening from cold and snowy Michigan.

That's pretty cool. The poem and the form. No name for it? Just quatrains with advancing lines? Maybe it's a Palmerelle?

[Cherrie]

I didn't not see an additional name listed for this a Palmerella (sounds like a cigar).

Smokin' poetry!

Well since we got smoke grab the marshmallows and I'll get a stick.

Interesting use of repetition, somewhat like a villanelle but not. I like it.

Ya know I did too. I've written these before, but this time I focused on a-h as a story then just applied the rules.

A pilgrimage for lovers - I like this a lot. Nicely worded and well put together. Excellent.

Hi Cherrie,
Lovely rhyme which I loved as I do love structure in a poem.
Connecting in life is so important...
Your words show that so well...
Lisa, now on holiday in Northern Spain

Well happy holidays 😌 and thank you.

[Lisasview]

Hi Cherrie,
You are most welcome!
Lisa, enjoying this area in Spain

Really nice, I didn’t check out the format , but rather just read it off the cuff but it worked so well, I believe your theme here of what seems like a quest helps, there is a journey happening within your lines.

All the best

Thank you for stopping and reading. I also like to save the extra information and reviews for after the read for a genuine impression.

It would take me weeks to figure out how to do these. haha This makes sense and I see how the lines jump from one place to another. This has a nice sentiment too. Well done, Cherrie.

I really liked writing it.
I I let A-G tell the story in order and the repeated lines just kind of echo the thought.
I think you would be great at one of these.
