Whispered Nothings...

Hello dear friends, it's poetry time again!

​Author Colleen Chesebro's prompt for this week is a bit complicated. Participants are to: (1) choose their favorite syllabic poetry form and write the poem, then (2) give the poem different characteristics, and finally (3) name the new syllabic poetry form. 

Well... I've taken a simple path and decided on Haiku Squared. I hope you enjoy it. 💗

Beautiful Gwen. May they always dance in our dreams and heart. I still love all those romantic old black and white movies and the music. It captures the magic of love.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
