#4 NaPoWriMo 2024 - The day we met
Love is in the Air
: That Fateful Day by Ginda Simpson
Traditional NaPoWriMo contest entry

Long ago, on the day we met,
my heart was caught up in your net.
You were the one meant for me;
it was fate, it had to be.
Far away, but in my heart,
I held you close from the start.
Long ago, on the day we met,
my heart was caught up in your net.

Author Notes
4th poem for NaPoWriMo 2024. This is an Octelle. The octelle has eight lines. It uses personification and symbolism in a telling manner.

The syllable count is 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8
The rhyme scheme is aa - bb - cc - aa.
The first two lines and the last two lines are identical.

An explanation of the photo chosen. I was wearing a green & white polka dot dress on the day we met. We have been married 52 years and I wear green & white polka dots every anniversary, and so does my goofy husband.
