Magic caresses love ethereal
Arterial world soothing
Angel's lullaby pleasing
This is my first attempt at writing an Englyn penfyr. This form of poetry consists of three lines, the first line is ten syllables, followed by two of seven syllables each. The last word in the first line must have more than one syllable, and it links to the first word in the second line, using rhyme, or alliteration or assonance. The last words in the second and third lines rhyme.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _a
a _ _ _ _ _ b
_ _ _ _ _ _ b

DeleteI think following forms are difficult for me which is why I think I rarely attempt to follow any. I think you did a fantastic job with this form and I really do like the poem. The picture goes with it too. An Angels lullaby would be very pleasing. I wish I could hear them every night.

God bless.
Thanks Mrsupole :-)

DeleteVery informative and educational but too much for my brain to conceive at this point in time. I am tired.. but this was very beautiful and the title it's self can not be ignored.. You are the master! There is nothing you can't accomplish! Always remember that..
ReplyDeleteThanks Crystal ... I know you have been through a lot ... do take care, have adequate rest and regain that energy :-)
DeleteFirst time I hear of Englyn penfyr, interesting, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYours is lovely, very spiritual.
I especially like your use of the adjectives ethereal and arterial to join heavens with earth.
Wish I could hear an angel's lullaby, wow...
