Words of wisdom ensconced in poetic words that
dance down the page in Love Otto form with thoughts
that are conjured up of all the days and years that
have gone before, and still what is left to do before
the last train whistle is heard.
Well done and good luck

Hello, Carolyn.
There are few sounds more lonely that a train whistle sounding off in the distance, especially at night.
Your Nove Otto poem is very well written.
Composed in 8 syllable lines as required by the form, in an aacbbcddc rhyme scheme, it has the featured nine-line formatting this form is so well known for.

Yes, your morning mind does meander. You likely wrote this Nove Otto later in the day, because it's well-focused on the meandering, a difficult accomplishment when composing in such a difficult poetry form. Nice job.

    Hi Carolyn,

    You always say the nicest things to me.
    I only write one poem at a time.
    Then when that one has gotten enough replies I'll write another one.

There is never enough time to get everything done before our number is called and we must leave our work unfinished. If we concentrate on the quality, we will leave a worthwhile legacy. Your poem got me thinking, love Dolly x

Hi Carolyn. I have no clue what a Nove Otto poem is supposed to be, but you took it to the finish line. You crossed home plate with a four bagger!

Nicely done, nicely rhymed, nicely conveyed.

    Hi buddy and a big thank you.. Basically each line is eight syllables.. The first two lines rhyme, the third does not.. Repeat in the pattern the third line then rhymes with each other and is suppose to make sense. That is the way I explained it to myself..LOL so hopefully it will work for you too. I am so glad you stopped by.. Love to you as always..:-) Carolyn
