We're still in love, we're still in love,
sure as the stars do shine above.
Two hearts filled with the beauty of
a snow white dove, a snow white dove.
All that is real, all that is real,
my feelings I just can't conceal.
Radiating; my thoughts surreal,
a spinning wheel, a spinning wheel.
Your love for me, your love for me,
for all the world it's plain to see.
And though there is no guarantee,
we still agree, we still agree.
Forever true, forever true,
reflections in the morning dew.
Sweetly smiling your eyes so blue,
heavenly hue, heavenly hue.
Heavenly hue, heavenly hue,
sweetly smiling your eyes so blue.
Reflections in the morning dew,
forever true, forever true.
We still agree, we still agree,
and though there is no guarantee.
For all the world it's plain to see,
your love for me, your love for me.
A spinning wheel, a spinning wheel,
radiating; my thoughts surreal.
My feelings I just can't conceal,
all that is real, all that is real.
A snow white dove, a snow white dove,
two hearts filled with the beauty of.
Sure as the stars do shine above,
we're still in love, we're still in love.

27. Still in love
I am combining two forms here, one which I just learned and that is a line-unit palindrome. It is combined with a monotetra. The monotetra is slightly modified as the first and last line of each stanza contain the dimeter phrase. Instructions for both are listed below.
Line-Unit Palindrome
A poem that reads from the first line to the last as it does from the last line to the first.
Monotetra
Style
© Created by Michael Walker
The monotetra is a poem written in quatrains,
with each line in tetrameter and each stanza is
monorhymed (thus the name, monotetra).
The other requirement of the form is that
the fourth line of each stanza is
a repeated dimeter phrase,
giving the poem a very songlike quality.
The rhyme scheme would be as follows: aaaa, bbbb, cccc, dddd, etc...
There is no limit to the number of stanzas you have to write.

Joyce this is so cleverly written and I admire your talent. A beautiful poem, full of love and I found that I could almost sing the words!
An excellent piece, one of your best for me.

Kiran, Thank you so very much for the applauses and the lovely words of praise that you gave to me here. The monotetra does have a songlike quality and it was so fun combining it with this new form I just learned in the line-unit palindrome. I'm very happy that you enjoyed this one. Love and God bless you my friend, Joyce

Wow! This is great! As you well know I combine forms frequently and I really appreciate the skill it takes to do this. I think writing like this is so much fun and you obviously do to because this poem turned out so well. Absolutely beautiful!
Love,

Amera, Thank you so very much for the applauses and your lovely words of praise for me here. I thought you would enjoy this one with the use of form combination. This was very tough to do.
It was a blast though. 
I'm very happy that you enjoyed this one and let me know if you write one. I don't want to miss it. Love you my friend, Joyce

Ken, Thank you for the applauses and your lovely words of praise. The contest you are hosting with Pam and your poetry also give me the drive to better myself. You are both amazing poets and I see it every time I read your words. Thank you for all you do. Love and God bless you always, in all ways. Joyce

Bravo bravo bravo. I am tickled with this piece. You have combined the forms well and made it look easy. Joyce - YAY! ~Pamela

Pam, Thank you so much for the applauses and your lovely words of praise. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have learned either of these forms. You set the bar and you give me the drive to go further and I love it. It may not be quite as elegant as I would have liked, it does however send its message. Thank you for all you do for me. Love you my friend, Joyce

WOW!! I can tell that I have gotten away from form poetry for too long. This was amazing. I actually don't like monotetra forms. I did one before but I didn't like how it came out. You my dear knocked it out of the box. The lovely feel, the repeated lines and the new form within it.
Joyce U did an amazing job and admire how you took this on and did so well. Good luck my friend. ~ Lovable Swish~ lol one of many names

Mykeeeeeeee, Thank you for the applauses and your lovely words of praise that leave me humbled here. I like the montetra for its songlike quality and the monorhymed stanzas it contains. You just blew that box away with your words for me. I am truly
here. I like that ~ Lovable Swish ~ LOL it is a good one. I'm very happy that this one spoke to you and thank you for the best wishes also. Love and God bless you my friend, Joyce

Shey, Thank you for the applauses and your lovely words of praise for me. As you know I thought it was tough enough learning the line-unit and after seeing a rhymed one from Pamela I had to go one step further and try it with a monotetra combined. Your words for this one truly mean so much as this was so hard to come up with. I'm very happy that it spoke to you. Love and God bless you my friend, Joyce

Judie, Thank you so very much for the applauses and your lovely words of praise for me. This one was a tough form to do. Pam had done a rhyming one after the first one we did in nonrhyming verse and I had to try this to make it even harder on myself. LOL I'm very happy that you enjoyed this. I found the contest today when I started browsing and remembering our titles group that I have to get working on I checked it out. That cake sounds delicious to go with our shakes. Love you my friend, Joyce
