Mending our broken hearts by Heartnsoul

In all the world there has to be
A gentler place for you and me
Where weary souls can rest and finds
Sweet release from the pain that binds
Us to the one that caused our distraught
Because our love was all for naught

A place where our poor hearts can mend
So that we might learn to love again
And rebuild our trust in woman, in man
With a little time I know we can
Find this place where beauty reigns
And bring our hearts home once again

For our children’s sake I know we must
Teach them love, faith, hope and trust
That even though we are apart
Their love we keep close to our heart
So when they look in our eyes they see
That there can be peace and harmony

We’ll walk from darkness into the light
And hold them close and hug them tight
No, it’s not over, it’s not dead
It’s because of them we forge ahead
When cries of “Daddy!” can bring a smile
And know they make our life worthwhile!

Friendship's Arrival

Your laughter swept across a somber day
and painted hillsides bright in em’rald green.
It set the breeze in motion; willows swayed
beneath the bluest skies I’d ever seen.

The velvet twilight filled with stars of white
that blazed around a soft vanilla moon.
You coaxed the music sweetly from the night
in melodies so perfectly in tune.

With gentleness you broke my cold resolve;
all hesitation faded into dust.
Your liquid gaze entranced; my will dissolved
and icy fear gave way to tender trust.

The hues of sunrise swirled in sweet ballet;
your laughter swept across a somber day.

Half-Wittyin’ by MLee Dickin's son

outlandish rhymin',
unconventional timin'
short lines mixed with long,
misleadin’ reader somethin’s wrong;
think,
wink,
throw caution to wind
up with somethin’ unrefined ~
but who’ll care,
since they’re unaware
you’re playin’ solitaire
from your armchair
experimentin’ with a form
that has no norm,
givin’
livin’
demonstration of a pattern prominent
with a kind o’ blandeloquent
unconventional timin’,
outlandish rhymin’

All sorts of forms, no freeverse and no rhyme. Come and show it can be done!
(next in contest)

Your laughter falls across the somber day
like sunlight graces dawn in coral bliss.
With notes of pure delight you send your love;
in verses of enchantment hold my soul.
I give to you my dream, I have no more,
and linger here beneath a slow demise.
I follow to the pulling of my need
yet cannot find the way to free desire.
Your voice is like a salve to ease the sting
of emptiness that burns a brand of want.
What hollow echoes whistle through these walls
while hope lies, still, within the shades of time.
But when your song comes flowing through my hair
and restless slumber weaves my tangled thoughts
to fantasies that carry you to me
I do not turn, nor wish you my heart more pure.
In silent aching I recall your kiss
I cannot sweep away the wish to love.
And as the years cascade to death's sure grip
I find that age won't lessen passion's might.

             WITTIAN RHYME FORM STRUCTURE


'The wittian form?...very simple grasshopper....Twenty lines,ten rhyming couplets,Syllable count does not matter but the word count is very specific....1st couplet 2 words,2nd couplet 5 words,3rd couplet 1 word,4th couplet 4 words,5th&6th couplets 3words....then back the other way...7th couplet 4 words,8th couplet 1 word,9th couplet 5 words...then the last couplet is reversed so it ends just as it begins....sounds hard but after you do it a couple of times it's a piece of cake...and I have found you can write any mood with this form....angst,dark,love.ect........There you have it...give it a shot and tell me what you think ok?'Punctuations are only used to break a line ,but not to end a line,the words themselves act as their own punctuations... added successfully
