Poem Commentary

The monotetra is a new poetic form developed by Michael Walker. Each stanza contains four lines in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight syllables. What makes the monotetra so powerful as a poetic form, is that the last line contains two metrical feet, repeated. It can have as few as one or two stanzas, or as many as desired. Stanza Structure: Line 1: 8 syllables; A1 Line 2: 8 syllables; A2 Line 3: 8 syllables; A3 Line 4: 4 syllables, repeated; A4, A4

Replenished Soul (Monotetra)

She never thought her world was real
Each step she took, there came a thrill
She stared out through her window sill
Her pain must heal, her pain must heal.


There comes a guy she meets at shop
His words of love, they did not flop
She blushed so hard, she could not stop
Her past she drop, her past she drop.


Without a thought she took a chance
Falling strongly for his deep glance
Out at the beach, in hand they prance
All night they dance, all night they dance.


He raised her smile and her torn mind
Her eye's are bare, no longer blind
Their hearts are one, a timeless find
One of a kind, one of a kind.


She answers to his lonesome call
No need to wait, no need to stall
He could not stand to let her fall
She has it all, she has it all.

Now so in love there's no more hate
She starting new with a clean slate
There shows the light, a happy fate
Here come love's plate, here come love's plate.


Dinner is served with heart's at stake
He proposed to her by an old lake
She jumps for joy, his hand she take
No force can break, no force can break.

Wow! I love the monotetra! Well written sentiment and smooth read; the tetrameters and end of stanza repetitions really stand out- and such good last lines-I like all of them, especially "here come love's plate" Seems like it was challenging to write- excellent-10+

sounds like a lot of females who deside to take the plunge

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
