Notes float gently by
Sing to make me cry
From my soul to you
So truly lovely
With taste of honey
Notes float gently
Strike intently
Lay me so low
Only you know
Fine notes float
Enter ears
Catch in throat
Soaring
Calling
Notes
Note: A diminished hexaverse is a poem containing stanzas of 5 lines, then 4 lines, then 3 lines, then 2 lines, ending with one word. The syllables in each stanza correspond to the number of lines, i.e. 5 in each line in the first stanza, 4 in the second stanza and so on. This form may contain more than five stanzas.
I would like to thank Yassy, fellow poet and blogger, for introducing me to the hexaverse. Please visit her blog site, and especially read her own hexaverse poem, Springtime.
That’s an impressive and neat form, the hexaverse. And your poem sings too. π
Thank you so very much, Khaya! π π π
