Absence makes
The heart grow fonder.
As I’m looking over yonder,
I can’t help to sit and ponder:
How it is that absence makes the
heart grow fonder. Yet I know
why I grow fonder. Because you
are there over yonder, I sit over
here and ponder: I love that
your absence makes
my heart grow
fonder

Thank you for the comment. I also like the rhyming in the poem as form poems aren't actually supposed to rhyme.. Hee Hee. But I love rhyme and gave it a shot.

You did a very good job with the figure you dont see too many of them on here. Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest.

Beautiful figural.....
I don't see many figurals on here. This poem reminds me so much of how I felt when I was 18, and in the U.S. Navy. My girlfriend was back in the United States, finishing up high school, and I was in Europe. We wrote each other nearly every day. I once called her from Toulon, France.....collect. I'm not sure if her parents took that too well, having to pay the bill. The farther away Tracy and I were from each other, the more we missed each other. Very well done, Himler.
