Sentiment

by obsidianeyes

Writing out poetry, line upon line, As the Summer rain, silently, dripped down the window, I solemnly scribed every rhyme upon rhyme, Forging sentiment slowly distilled from the page. Whimsical musings yet tinted the scenery - Colourful, fancy and folly imbued – As the wondrous flashes of visual tapestry Filled me with passionate fervour renewed.

Notes

In this poem I strictly adhered to a dactylic metre (the title itself; a dactyl) as it was the first poem I wrote after I had begun to actually study the basic precepts of poetic metre. So many modern poets appear to disavow such strict adherence to poetic metre (perhaps they find the form dated, simplistic, or stifling?) but I really enjoy the musical qualities of such poetry.
