RESTITUTION
Released from fortunes grasp
No more in loves firm clasp
Tidal waves of deep despair
Carry her to shores elsewhere
A land where clouds embrace terrain
Denying sun where tear drops rein.
Through self-control and perseverance
Anticipating reappearance.
The Con-Verse, created by Connie Marcum Wong, consists of three or more 2-line rhyming stanzas (couplets). The meter of this form is in syllabic verse.. This process may be repeated for a longer verse. If repeated, you must begin your first couplet with the syllabic count of seven again and continue from there.
Rhyme scheme: aa, bb, cc. dd, and ee.
Metre: 7 7, 8 8, 9 9, 10 10, and 11 11..
(In this 3 verse poem I have added a fourth opening couplet in 6 6) ‘

Terrific short pictures Michael! Says so much in so little....... and I love your Forget Me Nots (I think that's what I'm seeing)........
That's what you're seeing Lorna - actually they have improved a lot since I took this photo - super plants but boy do they spread.
Well they don't want to be forgotten!!!
Ms Berles been helping again?! A fine write and pic Michael.
Always love to see your poems in new forms. And pictures from your garden!
thanks Christina - a different subject for the photo tomorrow,.
THANKS MICHAEL ~ nice poem ~ nice structure (flexible ?) ~ nice subject ~ RESTITUTION ! I love "rhyming couplets" because I'm a PP (Performance Poet) and I used them in my DODECET (6 RC's mainly in iambic pentameter) Syllabi rule OK ~ Many of our MPS Family find Syllable counts in poems difficult and I do get sent some otherwise excellent poems to syllabise ! THE CON-VERSE structure has both a syllabus pattern and a rhyme pattern ~ which in my "classical book" makes it a PROPER POEM ~ OK !
Thanks for educating ~ Yours BRIAN "A Form poet !"
