Nice work with your Atrina poem JLR and I like your choice of subject as he walks on in the morning mist, and finds himself on heaven's path. Lovely presentation, cheers,

Pearl. Thank you very much.
Comment from RGstar
Good of you to try this form JLR, it is very restrictive, so repeats at an increased pace. The joy, however , is the sound , the beauty of movement, how you want something to sound for that moment.
These are the sorts of poems that should be read out loud, as poetry was meant, and was practised, otherwise we would not have had that influx of French in the English language over the hard rounded words of German.
Good job.
Good to see.
Have a great day.

Thank you for the good validation on this poetic style.
Comment from Mrs. KT
Oh my goodness, JLR!
What an interesting poetic format; I've never heard of it until now.
Your imagery is captivating. I was "hooked" the moment I read "marshland mist."
I applaud your following the requirements of this form = very complex to this writer!
Thank you for sharing!

Hi Diane, thank you. At first my attempt on this was abysmal but as I stayed the course the refrains finally came together. Thank you for your kind words.
Comment from Abby Wilson-hand
What an excellent way of writing a poem I just loved it
your idea was sharp minded and thought out I gave you my last six
I usually hoard them but I couldn't resist.

Comment from Patty Palmer
This is a very interesting form of poetry. I've never really come across this kind. At first it was a bit confusing but after I read it a couple of times it started to sound normal. Thanks for sharing'

Patty, thanks for spending time with it the style that Jan created is new to me also and at first ai felt resistance. But it does grow in its development of a narrative.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a good job with this challenge. I enjoyed reading your poem. I really like the image and the message of your poem. The style is complex and many don't like the repeats. However, you repeats flow smoothly. Your syllable count is off on some lines, but this still reads well. thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Allieas
Beautiful poem -- I'd never heard of an Atrina poem before. Your imagery was strong and it was a satisfying poem to read, in that it flowed really well to me.
I particularly enjoyed this:
" Melodic harp strings heard strumming.
Toward heaven he gazed, humming.
He gazed toward heaven, humming.
Melodic harp strings heard strumming."
Thanks for sharing!

It?s too far back now ?poetic majesty? is one that I wrote. Written in tetrameter, with four different rhyme schemes, abab ccdd effe gggg and a separate stanza comprising the first line of the four stanzas, the trick is making those four lines make sense, it?s called a ?Rime Tesera.?
