Love From Afar

Love From Afar
(A Monotetra Poem)





One thought that couples may agree,
That parting is such agony.
True love's return, can't wait to see.
When will it be! When will it be!

When hopeless yearning is the case,
The simple thought that I embrace,
Your presence, in most every place,
I see your face. I see your face!

Then instantly does joy accrue,
Enchanting bliss flows through and through,
Conjoined afar in hearts so true.
For I love you! For I love you!

What makes the Monotetra so powerful as a poetic form, is that the last line contains two metrical feet, repeated. This makes a powerful emphatic echo. The format is as follows:

Line 1: 8 syllables
Line 2: 8 syllables
Line 3: 8 syllables
