Carried On A Breeze ( Lento )

Carried On A Breeze

Night breeze carries you my love
Bright moonbeams in your hair
Firelight kisses, waiting lips
Unite two souls, answered prayers

Aching for your loving touch
Cradling warmth, embracing arms
Sleeping tucked within your heart
Dreaming safely away from harm

A Lento

consists of two quatrains with a fixed rhyme scheme of abcb, defe. The second
and fourth lines of each stanza must rhyme.
To take it a step further, try
rhyming the first and third lines as well as the second and fourth lines of each stanza in this
rhyming pattern: abab, cdcd.
The FIRST words of each verse should rhyme....this is the hard part! There is no fixed syllable structure to the Lento, but
keeping a good, flowing rhythm is recommended.

    Aww... this is amazing! What a start of the poem.

    'Aching for your loving touch
    Cradling warmth, embracing arms
    Sleeping tucked within your heart
    Dreaming safely away from harm'
    This stanza is just brilliant! Great poem indeed.

    It was wonderfully written.

    Such a romantic... poem you have expressed. how good and romantic can be love.. after reading this i can imagine alot...

    this poem brought me very far inside me...
    this poem brought me the last corner of my heart. where there was a small corner. where i locked my lovely moments that i spend with her.. once again you made all those love memories awake..

    i know i should feel happy that i had those memories... but somewhere in my heart there is emtyness. and maybe that was she.

    so just want to say you this kind of poem is new for me... i will also try to right a lento.

    howp i will write well but im sure i cannot be good as you are..

    wonderfull piece of work..
    you got 5

    Cindy,
    Dear I am so proud of you and the evolvement from the death perspective. I know this was hard to write and I commend you on a perfect subject and write. You dear are truly growing in each and every write you spill upon pages. I am proud of the fact the genre changed from the waiting death to the love embraced. You have done a fantastic job on the form, I envy the fact you so flawlessly have perfected this. I suppose it's in yalls genes to deliver such beautiful works.
    Great Job dear friend. Thank you for sharing.
    Love ,
    Kay

    Looks more like a tutorial. I would lose the description because it makes the reader look at the description more than the poetry in my opinion. I love it though. Great poem.
