Today's Prompt is try something new !

Today on OSP @ http://onestoppoetry.com/ they are asking us to try a form we have never done, and just like that we went over to our friend Penny's blog where she posted a form that we had not seen... here is the just of it ...

Dectina Refrain. The form is a syllable count of 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 and then a repeat of lines 1 - 4 to stress the point made there. It was invented by Catherine Mackie. It is a bit like an inverted nonet with a twist... OURS IS...

If
I were
a poet
of gentle words
would you think of them,
repeating them often,
would they harness a thought,
evoke emotions so deep,
leave you breathless or longing too,
the things I would love to write for you

If I were a poet of gentle words


Hope that is correct Penny... you know how we love to do you proud!

Now for today's attempt at the Acrostic ... Thanks to A/O @ http://acrosticonly.blogspot.com/ for the inspiration in this ...  We are trying ...
Prompt 3: Phrase or Slang (PS) - KISS AND TELL   ... OURS IS...
KISS AND TELL 
Knowing the moment is near
Impossibilities dance with fear
Soothing are the words that I hear
Seductively whispered in my ear

Another step closer I'm breathless
Nervously feeling your caresses
Diving deep into you I'm helpless

Tonight we say our goodbye
Eyes burning with tears that I cry
Loneliness and heart break underlie
Leaving us longing for time to go by

Dedicated to our military families, having to say goodbye, separating for months at a time, waiting for the return of their loved ones !
YOUR TURN
ENJOY
