Never Leave Me, Never Depart [Nove Otto]

by Sweet Fragility   Sep 14, 2007


My first attempt at the Nove Otto form. It's horrible, bear with me please. Any suggestions for me to make it less horrible?

I never thought I would find love,
Until you were sent from above.
It's not too late for 'us' to start.
When you whisper into my ear
I want to share with you my fear.
But a luscious kiss soothes my heart --
I forget to convey my plea.
But now, I beg you to promise me
Never leave me, never depart.

The Nove Otto poetry form was created by Scott J. Alcorn. It is a nine-lined poem with 8 syllables per line (isosyllabic). The rhyme scheme is as follows: aacbbcddc.

    Amazing. You really have the potential to become a great poet. btw. It wasn't horrible! It was a great poem - as always.

    It is very interesting and rhythm of this short, but powerfully written, piece is very effective. I don't like the first two lines, they have usual rhyme and they just don't feet in whole poem. Rest of it is incredible, very emotional, so my suggestion for you is to change first two lines, because except them this is really great poem.
