A poem in common metre
Hello, dearheart,
Here's a poem I wrote in common metre. It's my first attempt, I think I succeeded!
Do let me know if you catch my iambs slipping anywhere.
a week ago our hearts did greet
each other warm and fond
for half that time we could not meet
but strong has grown our bond
for kindred souls to meet just so
is rare and hardly seen
a dream I darent imagine grow
in mine a verdant green
a hearth of fire, a forest sweet
a plain to rest your head
my heart it holds them all to beat
a tempo safely led
alongside mine another calls
in whispers soft and kind
of love and mirrored joy befalls
that very loved sweet mind
two friends entwined at elbow sure
to steady step and drawl
we face each day alone no more
shall jointly stand fore all
All my love,
