"Opera Radiant" - monotetra

The chosen angel falls and brings

a song upon her wilting wings

that Earth plays on symphonic strings.

...and nature sings, and nature sings.

Why is it that the world seems rife

with violence and hate and strife?

The song cuts with a truthful knife,

...from death comes life, from death comes life.

There's time to laugh and time to mourn,

to follow close the vows you've sworn,

but not it's time to earn Death's scorn

...and be reborn, and be reborn.

The song is fire burning free,

damnation bringing liberty.

The song is passion, victory.

...so sing with me, so sing with me.

  1. its hard to say this fits me like water and a glass.

    but it does.

    because i dont know what to say.

    except to say i like this mono tetra pattern.

    and you write very well..


  2. i would say it is a bittersweet poem

  3. mildly happy

  4. This poem, "Do sing"  and tells a story that is indelible.

    Kudos

  5. Absolutely gorgeous and skillfully rendered.  What an impressive work of art.  I love both the theme and the structure of this poem.  Excellently crafted as usual.  

    I've not seen a monotetra before and I can't wait to try one for myself.  Thank you for the beautiful poem and the new form.

  6. somewhat yes

  7. its a beautiful poem.......it not about sadness or  happiness......its about hope after despair, like sunrise after sunset, like life after death........its about hope and believing in hope.......

  8. On the happiness scale, I gave you a 7.3. You earned points for angel, laugh, liberty, etc. But I had to deduct for strife, knife, scorn and mourn. I know it's difficult to ask the right question, but try harder next time so that you don't get an answer as moronic as mine.

  9. This is so wonderfully written.  I love how the last lines echo and are emphasized.  Bravo!

  10. It is a sad poem, with a joyful or happy background to it...

    I like it...
