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
