    dotsErtha; Crying for Rielle-reviseddots
    -------------------------------------------


    Crying for Rielle is a play on words for a poem style called; Kyrielle. This has FOUR metric feet per line.
    Re-written to to that rythm.

    My heart so weak, from seeing her,
    I'd love to have the days that were.
    To see that glowing once concieved,
    She's all I had, I had believed.

    Upon her bed, racked in such pain,
    She mumbled so.my heart did drain
    A hope for life, to cures we cleaved,
    She's all I had, I had believed.

    Her grave has vanished in the sod,
    I sometimes pass and give a nod,
    I've given her up, she is with God,
    She's all I had, I had believed.
    -------------------------------
    Now, I've tried to take the same thoughts and lines and rearange them into the other rhyme scheme. This is my take, whats your?

    abaB,cbcB,dbdB,+ aeaZ

    My heart so weak, from seeing her,
    To see that glowing once conceived,
    I'd love to have the days that were.
    She's all I had, I had believed.

    Upon her bed, racked in such pain,
    A hope for life, to cures we cleaved.
    She mumbled so, my heart did drain,
    She’s all I had, I had believed.

    Her grave has vanished in the sod,
    I’ve given her up God has recieved,
    I sometimes pass, and give a nod,
    She’s all I had, I had believed.

    I felt alone my mind a blur,
    Until you came, I'd cry and mourn.
    I’d love to have the days that were,
    Our eyes to meet, your love for sure.

      Hey you! Nice work with the rearranging of this poem. I think this one is touching and I thought so the first time I read it and the second time and now the third time I just gotta tell you that I am impressed. I knew you were a big sentimental softy and this one proves it! But seriously, this is a very touching and lovely poem. Very sad and such a huge loss to experience. I love what you have done with this on your revision and your sensitive side is very warm and sincere. Great job with this poem and its structure and form. Lovely! Take care.

      Hi Clayton,
    I love a kyrielle, the last line lends itself to a returning vision. I think it's much like a mantra and the key is choosing a line with meaning. And you have done so in this one, it all makes sense and reads true.

    Like a true heart that is, nice job, thanks for sharing,

    peace and blessings,

      Well, you've drawn me back in - I did like this one, sure enough (remembers to fav it this time.)

    For choice, I'd pick the Mk. II - mostly because I love the line "I've giv'n her up, God has recieved" (I recommend the giv'n - reminds people you're shooting for the one syllable given, very handy, very Old English.)

    I also think it gives the poem a more well-stirred feel. The original had a more structured progression of concepts, since that was the order you originally thought of them. By swapping the order of lines 2,3 of each stanza, you slow down the reader just a bit, adding to the meditative effect.

    I'm not sure about the new last verse, tho'. The first two lines seem to be commenting on new love (which is right nifty, and explains the feeling of closure throughout the peice.) But line 3 could create confusion about _which_ days-that-were you're longing for (new girl? or old?)

    Beats me how you could re-write it though...

    One fine tomorrow,

      One of the beautiful things about reading poetry at 2:00 in the morning is the fun of reading things that aren't actually there. The first time I read it, I (mis)read every refrain as

    "She's all I had, had I believed"

    Which of course gave it a different twist entirely. This is the first time I've read the kyrielle style, and thanks to you it was a very impressive introduction. Your choice of refrain gives the poem a mature, nostalgic feel - I like it.

    I love to nitpicking a poem like this, trying to help streamline it... but someone else got there first. A very nice peice.

      well you are certainly showing your trrue colours here....i am so glad i ''challenged you'' this is lovely, although sad.
    i am honoured to see my name in the title of this melodic poem
    i love the line
    ''My heart goes numb to see her ( there,)"

    i think it is interesting that both phantom pen and ghostknight picked up on the present/past tense in your refrain
    ''She's all I want, I truely believed.''

    i think you should consider phantom pen's advice...she knows a thing or two about potrry and i don't think you will get better advice anywhere...

    and i must thank you for giving me so much of your time

      I think the most noteworthy point of this poem is the fact that it says "believed", as in past tense. This makes me think you're looking back to her as you're falling in love again with someone new, wondering which of the two means more. Maybe the guilt associated with the deceased holds you back, having had to care for her as she withers away, unable to give your heart to anyone else because it's consumed with the only person who more and more can't return the favor. Like Lorna said, I hope this really didn't happen, but the great thing is that the reader can't tell, proving that you've written a great poem. I'll be thinking about this one all day.

      Awww! This is such a sad and touching poem. How awful it would be to lose your true love to the hands of death this way. I think this is great that you are experimenting with these different kinds of poems. You are expanding your writing abilities and this one is indeed lovely. I think you got a typo in the last stanza with "she'a" I think you meant "she's" Damn typo's! haha! Anyway, a heartfelt and sad poem you have here. I certainly hope this never really happened to you. Nice work. Take care.
