Mother of Creation by Amera at All poetry

Mother of Creation

I’m the mother of creation;
the keeper of affirmation.
I’m the spirit that no one hears,
I see the hate the war and tears.

I have walked through many ages
and my soul has turned the pages.
of volumes and chapters of years,
I see the hate the war and tears.

Witness to hostile commotion
and mangled human emotion,
from the laws that no one adheres,
I see the hate the war and tears.

I’m the mother of creation,
I see the hate the war and tears.

Author notes

Kyrielle Sonnet:

A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme
for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.

Talk about your Oedipus complex! What a picture! This is a very nicely written sonnet. A gem. I don't care what Mairi says, first person sonnets work just fine when done like this. You are an artist and it is always a pleasure to see what you do next. This one is no exception. Beautiful.

Excellent!
Once again I must bow to the "Queen of Form"
You have inspired me much with this piece and I shall have to try this form as well.
It flows so perfectly and presents a strong message through the repetition from the Kyrielle format.

I really love this
BRAVO!
Thank you for sharing and I wish you the best in the contest!

Much love
Many blessings

I don't really see you as the mother of creation, I'm pretty sure creation happened a bit before your time
Enjoyed the poem though.
