Meter - Alternating Iambic Tetrameter / Iambic Trimeter

Rhyme - A-B / A-B

Invisible formations streak Through clouds around the Moon, Then delve beneath the canopy to voice a mortal tune. Your soul the vessel to impart In perfect tonal scheme; One second of a beating heart, A light year's span, a dream. Now as you wake in stretching moves, As night to day evolves, A messenger left vital clues To aid your will to solve. Gene Bourne. 07-20-14 .

Hello, Charmaine...and thanks so much for your comment. I like "mixing meters" as in this poem. It seems to add a touch of drama and action to the message..... Sincerely, ....Gene.

WOW! This is awesome...what a wondrous ethereal feel to it! Yes, our souls are vessels...beautiful words penned here. I can do iambic pentameter, but this...this is new to me! Is it for a contest? You will do superbly well.

Thanks Eileen...when I posted it, all the lines were garbled and out of place... so I hope you read it after I corrected it into the intended three stanzas. Mixing Tetrameter with alternating Trimeter adds an interesting texture to the flow. I appreciate your comments very much. I started on PS in Jan. and haven't entered any contests. Thanks again Your PS friend, ....Gene.
