  Do I Formalise, Doat ?

 

I doat on ready smile, fair grace,

solar, timeless, doubts does chase.

Real miracle, fate’s song I lace,

‘Tis door adored, might fancy solace,

stings doctor, dowse regrets minds face.

Soft language, tireless, dodges trace,

docile reminds facts somehow place

title down, don’t rest, misplace

fable so laughter tickles, doubles pace,

dons, unrevealed, a mirage space

fantastic sounding to replace

tired dodo wretched mish-mash, base,

false, sorry prose. Lake poet, ace,

tight dons – no dotard – styled embrace.

    This is beautiful! I love the creativity- using the notes in order. I love the feeling you get with the words- not sentences, just the words specifically. That probably doesn't make sense to you, but it makes sense to me!

    The poem, when you don't see the scale, is not all that impressive. It's not bad, but just seems choppy. Then you scroll down to the next part WHICH is VERY neat. Would not have seen that if you did not point it out. It's a very cool concept. Still, on the other hand, (and I probably couldn't do this myself) it isn't very smooth and would be more impressive if you could do this and make it more flowing and natural-sounding.

    Cool concept though. Thanks for entering.

    Wow! This is very impressive.
    I've never seen anyone using this style before (with the music notes embedded in words).
    Your poem is like music to my ears.
    Excellent job!

    Oh my goodness . . . I can appreciate the brain power it took to come up with this piece, having once attempted an unusual challenge myself once. And to have incorporated a working monorhyme . . . I applaud you!

    This is certainly a spectacular feat of rhyme, meter & anagrams. . . Musical? Sure. The regularity of the meter and rhyme put me off a bit - personal preference only. For this contest I was looking for something freer - like a genuine song communicated through the medium of language. Free verse, lyrical poetry is closer to this than yours, but yours is no less impressive for what it does accomplish. Thank you for entering.

    I am reading this in a burnout moment- I do not hear music to this- it is an hallkucination, right?

    I like the creativity you put into this- very unexpected.

      Anagram Riddle Explanations

      Dear Duana,

      If you read the notes you will find that given the fact that the notes contained in every octave in music are do re me fa so la ti do ... and the anagram of do re me fa so la ti do is Do I Formalise, Doat ?

      then you will see that the same octave do re me fa so la ti do is repeated in THAT order 9 times within the formalized sonnet on love

      Thus the poem's stiff formality becomes a parody of its title and the stiffness is contained within a monorhyme of eight syllables

      Enjoy !

    So, here's a ready smile:

    Jonathan, I am not surprised by your expertise with words any more, but you are right; this poem surprises me. You know, that is a strange anagram for the scales, but practicing scales is what lays the foundation of music. Tell me about the miracle, please.
