This picture below I am about to paint using my watercolor palette of soft pastels PLUS WORDS.
Painting with words in the poetic form of the Double Ennead comprises five lines with a syllable count of 6/5/11/6/5, (33 SYLLABLES per stanza) 3 STANZAS EACH = 99 SYLLABLES, NO MORE, NO LESS! Punctuation and rhyme schemes are optional and up to the poet.
Meet me at the SALOON!
Dreamy pastels await
Color palette grab
Listen, hear now the soft pinks calling, melting
Away like sweet butter
Frosting on a cake!
Turning shades of blue to
Creamy violet
Eyes close tight —Imagine a vision, picture
A fantasy, magic
A painting finished!
Winter delight so warm
Whites seem to vanish
Seemingly Sinks into the deep freeze below
That image born within
Heaven far away!
Myrna, this is lovely imagery! How do you like this form? It gives you a lot of syllables to work with and create. ❤

It would be interesting to explain how each of us begins; my method is to just start writing my thoughts one thought at a time, then I do a syllable count and either start shaving syllables here and adding some there. Changing the order of my thoughts sometimes works too! Is that how you begin Colleen? And Yes, I enjoy the form.

Though the fiorming of such a rhyme, slips from my grasp … or runs from my head; if truth be told. You paint a poem that somehow made me hungry. Beautiful.
