Inspired

Before my Lord God I am still,
I bless Him with praises, Amen.
The hearts of the faithful fulfill,
with sweet wine that pours from my pen.

The Lord has delivered the skill
of speaking His verse to all men.
His powerful hand on my quill,
with sweet wine that pours from my pen.

My heart overflows with God’s will,
He makes me his servant and then,
such joy will his blessings instill,
with sweet wine that pours from my pen.

My heart overflows with God’s will,
with sweet wine that pours from my pen.

 

 

 

Author notes

(KJV) Psalm 45
1. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.


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.

    It's nice to see that someone else here on AP gives credit to God as muse. I do. I give God all the glory for whatever poetic ability I have.
    Another very interesting form Amera. Nice job.

    I envision a group of old-world scribes seated at tables and in unison singing this as a chant. Beautiful Amera, really special, and all the best in the contest.


    Love and peace always,

    A really lovely trimeter, the repeating line appears to work well,
    Very well composed, both of you.

    Sis, I could be really finicky and tug at wee threads here and there. I still think you are aiming to fulfill a poetic form, rather than to write a beautiful poem.

    BUT - and it's an important "but" - this actually has a rhythmic appeal, and a lyrical quality to it. I hope it takes you to the podium.

      Sometimes, as I have so many times told my darling Jeff, some things are more important than perfection of a piece. This young lady is known well for her quality in form, and beauty. Her pieces always speak out with a specialness to them. This one she done with Pervirtuous is just that, a great form filled with beautiful insight.

      Maybe, people need to allow a poet to do just that, enjoy what they do, hers is form, his is beauty, combined, get the quality I love to see.

      NOT everything has to be perfect..we're not, are you?
      Of course not, if we were we wouldnt be here. I think your a wonderful poetesse with alot of skill to teach and motivate people and apppreciate your comments as well, but, its one thing to comment, then to think we are above the best.

      Love,
      Passions

      I was trying to get the same meter in each line and still present the scripture. The form is second nature to me by now.

    This is really beautiful and inspired. I love the flow. This develops so well from praying, blessing the Lord, receiving blessings, and experiencing the joy of creation itself. A powerhouse of a piece written in the wonderful style of a Kyrielle litany morphed into a sonnet. Wow. Three holy bunnies for this!!! Thank you for letting me be your sounding board and whipping boy while writing this. It was an honor and a privilege! You are the best!
