LOVE ~ AN ELUSIVE DREAM ? A Rhyming Acrostic Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

ANGELA ~ CURRENT LOVE OF MY LIFE ! 

 

A N  ELUSIVE DREAM ~ The Perfect Partner

N O  ONE  succeeds ~ but we all seek ~ in vain ?

 

E ACH GIRL  I Woo ~ looks nice enough ~ and so

L OOKS RIGHT  for me ~ "Falling in Love again !"  

U NLESS  some unseen factor spoils my chance 

S HE COULD just lead me in a merry dance !

I  SAY  "It's better to have Loved & Lost"

V ENTURED INNOCENT ~ into Loves Honey pot 

E XPECTED SOMETHING ~ and then nothing gained

 

D ON'T  all romances have a hidden plot ? 

R EMEMBER ALL ~ the Goods and Bads of past

E XPECTED LOVE'S SWEET DREAM ~ to last and last ? 

A MAN can dream ~ a Lady makes provision

M AN'S DREAM ? Is Real Estate ~ LADY'S ? A DECISION !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

This Poem is presented as Rhyming Acrostic Sonnet ~ OK

The versification is 6 6 2 but this does not fit the word pattern !

Th Rhyme pattern is  xaxabb  xcxcdd ee !  Hope this helps to

understand the structure of the Poem. I could have split the

WORD PATTERN (2 7 5) into 6 6 2 but it is an Acrostic in

addition to it being a Sonnet !  What do you think ?

    Good write, your love is out there for you.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      THANKS ANDY ~ Into every life a Little Love should come ! Yours BRIAN

    • Accidental Poet

      Beautifully written Brian

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks AP ~ in all my Poems I strive for a symbiosis of FORM (structure) and FUNCTION (subject) ~ Yours BRIAN

      • Fay Slimm.

        Perfect form and structure to your appealing rhyme Brian - best of all wishes for your success with the lady.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Thanks FAY ~ I know yu appreciate Form & Function in a Poem ~ I always try to do my best ! I know I'm old enough to settle down ~ but is any man ever wise enough ? I do own my own Flat so that is the first rung in the Real Estate ladder ! Thanks for your encouragement ~ Yours as ever BRIAN.

        • Michael Edwards

          Great structure as always Brian - works so well.

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            WELL MICHAEL ~ You know me well ~ two essentials in a POEM for reading and recitability ~ FORM & FUNCTION ! I am a Performance Poet and I walk (humbly) in the great snowprints of Noggin the Nog of the Norseland and memories of his great sagas round the camp fires ~ beyond the Arctic Circle ! Last time I visited (North of TROMSO) his Great-grandson said to me BRIYON ~ "If it cannot be recited it cannot be a POEM" Perhaps I should publish that on MPS with the risk of offending at least half of our MEMBERS ! Yours BRIAN

            • Michael Edwards

              I remember Noggin well and - yes you might offend a good few but I won't say more or I will fall into that trap as well.

              Thanks Brian. I'm a bit un-cultuerd poetically, re: structures, etc,. I don't have any structure when I'm on the sherries. I should write some rubbish when I've had three or four! lol.

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                ANDY ~ Seems like when you are filled with the right kind of Spirit ~ You write poems in perfect meter ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ~ BRIAN

                • orchidee

                  Cooeee! Steven here (Orchidee), not Andy (Goldfinch). Well, maybe he does hymn-poems too! Erm, one way to tell the difference is that I'm a phantom whisky-waterer. Goldie is gonna shoot me for it - heretical it is! That TUI - Today's Useless Info. lol.

                  • BRIAN & ANGELA

                    Sorry I keep getting you two mixed up ~ You have many similarities ! BRIAN

                  • malubotelho

                    Lovely poem full of love and explanation. After all thanks for the literature school. I even bought a poetry dictionary but it just arrived and had no time to read it yet. Still I keep writing without any knowledge of structure. Plan to learn one day.

                    • BRIAN & ANGELA

                      HI MALU ~ LOVE YOUR NEW PICTURE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL ! Thanks for your comment much appreciated ! Classical poetic structure is academic but rewarding ! A Poem must have Form & Function to be reciteable ! Every blessing with your dictionary ~ Love as always BRIAN XOX

                      • malubotelho

                        Thank you Brian

                          • Louis Gibbs

                          • orchidee

                            Now look, lol. I tell people they can call me what they like - within reason! Just that they don't me Janet! (name picked out by random, me being daft!). lol
