How clever of you to have included the principle meters in your poem. Thank you for sharing the Amaranth form and your detailed notes about it, plus your creative collage. Cheers- Joan

I love it! All those meters you've put together in a collage, what an ingenious idea. And then you write a lovely colourful poem to go with it. I confess, I've never heard of this style, but it's allowed you to be very creative. Very well done, my friend. :) Sandra xx

Thank you Sandra. Not very flowery poetic, but a good demonstration of the form. I'll try one that tells a story and rhymes sometime later. Also, my try to write in these other meters as a whole poem each, sometime.

You'll do it easily, Tom, you have the talent and the ability to write all styles of poetry, and write them well. xx

A very well-written Amaranth poem, and an excellent colorful demonstration of this new form of poetry. It is amazing when we start to think how many meters are part of our lives.

Thank you Sandra. There were certainly more poetic meters than I realized. I learned 3 new ones. I'll have to try them each out in some verse.

Well, this is certainly new. I don't think I'll be trying one, though.

I liked reading this. It's more the way I speak. Very conversational sound the way the stressed syllables fall.

Thank you Yvonne. It is more natural flowing, but not very poetic, as I was giving a learning example. I'll probably do a rhymed one sometime.

Ooh la la, dear friend, while I love literary invention and cerebration,
some of this eludes me. Yet, it is a glorious treatise about the poetic domain and all its definitions. As such, an AURORA BOREALIS of its many galaxies. Blessings, john

Thank you John. I appreciate that Aurora Borealis light show you sent. It is complex, but I do like showing some of the technical things in poetry, as many people aren't aware of it, quite often.
