A Love So Strong

Quietly she enters the room
I catch a scent of her perfume
I’m quite lucky to be her groom
Our love does bloom; our love does bloom

She beckons me when drawing near
Her beside me removes all fear
I pray it lasts, many a year
A love so dear; a love so dear

I take notice, she needs no lures
Adventurous as daily tours
Heartache vanquished, she’s all my cures
Our love endures; our love endures

Wanting to make each day last long
Loving her will never be wrong
She is the reason for this song
A love so strong; a love so strong

Linked to dVerse Poets Pub — Poetry Form: Monotetra, where Grace is hosting and challenged us to o write a poem in monotetra form. 

Monotetra: a poetic form developed by Michael Walker, the monotetra. Here are the basic rules:

  • Comprised of quatrains (four-line stanzas) in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of 8 syllables per line
  • Each quatrain consists of mono-rhymed lines (so each line in the first stanza has the same type of rhyme, as does each line in the second stanza, etc.)
  • The final line of each stanza repeats the same four syllables. This is what makes the monotetra so powerful as a poetic form – the last line contains two metrical feet, repeated.
  • This poem can be as short as 1 or 2 quatrains and as long as a poet wishes.

    Your loved one must have an album of love notes, Ron, you wrote them so eloquently and well. This one is no exception.

  2. I hope your wife sees this. How wonderful this poem is. I adore this as words and belief:
    “Heartache vanquished, she’s all my cures”
