Angel of Love

Angel of Love

I hear you’re down; well I have good news.
I was sent from heaven above.
So please take heart and listen to me.
Here I am, the cure for the blues.

There are no problems, I can’t defuse.
They call me the angel of love.
Erase the heartache; don’t you agree?
Listen to me, do not refuse.

What causes this? Let’s look at the clues.
Silly things, we’ll them give a shove.
They can’t hurt you, look around and see.
You’re made of love and you can’t lose.

Take in the beauty, let it infuse.
Look at the sky, the morning dove.
The best things in life are truly free.
I am the angel curing the blues.

.

I hear you’re down; well I have good news.

I was sent from heaven above.

So please take heart and listen to me.

Here I am, the cure for the blues.

La’Tuin

The La’Tuin, a poetic form created by Laura Lamarca, consists of 4-line stanzas with an 'abca, abca' rhyme scheme that is consistent throughout each stanza. Stanzas 2, 3 etc. must all follow the same rhyme sounds as the first stanza. With the first stanza being repeated again at the end of the piece. It contains a minimum of 4 stanzas, with no maximum length limit.
A strict syllable count of 9/8/9/8 is required per stanza.


In-Depth Explanation of rhyme:
Lines 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16 etc., all rhyme - this is the 'A' rhyme.
Lines 2, 6, 10, 14 etc, all rhyme - this is the 'B' rhyme.
Lines 3, 7, 11, 15 etc, all rhyme - this is the 'C' rhyme.

The La'Tuin is named after A'Tuin, a giant turtle from the Diskworld series. A turtle is a symbol of Mother Earth. "La" is Laura Lamarca's signature.

    Light-hearted and sweetly penned write. I've been in a dark poetry frame of mind lately so this was a treat to delve into! One minor typo in third quatrain, final line - extra o in lose.

    I love this one!!!!!! This is one that I could read many times over as I can find things in this to help me when I am having one of those days that nothing is going right, and I just want to crawl into a hole and hide for the rest of it! Great job on this one my friend!!!

    Best of luck in this contest!!!


    Love
