Wow, Tom -I'm going to have to try this form. It looks intriguing to say the least!
It looks like a great tool to learn the different measures too. Something sadly lacking these days. There is so much more to poetry than iambs.
Great work, my friend.

Cute poem to commemorate a local statue. Well thought out and clearly written. Strong visual imagery. Not sure if it would hold up with out the photography. Good artwork choice.
Have a great weekend :)

Well done sir. I love the photo. And the color you used for your words. I never thought of that. I'll have to try it sometime. As always great work on the poem and very fun. Rox

Comment from Joan E.
I am glad you shared another statue from your trip to the sculpture garden. The butterfly is remarkably real looking. And your rhymed Amaranth captures its essence. More cheers and happy weekend- Joan

Thank you Joan. Yes, I had to go touch it to make sure it wasn't real.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
You are so good at these poem, Tom. You make them fun and colourful to read, and I enjoyed your rhyme scheme for it. I love the statue, is that a real butterfly on his toe? Or is it part of the sculpture? It's all lovely. Well done, my friend. Sandra xxx

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Amaranth poem. Before I read the author notes I thought that was a very lucky shot to caught the butterfly on the boy's toe. Lol. It seems indeed like an inspirational place for any artist.

Thank you Sandra. I had to do a double take too, and went over to touch it.
Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
The Amaranth is a 9 line strophe (it is a stand alone poem); that is metric, using the 9 most common metric feet in a sequence. The sequence can vary as long as it uses one of the 9 meters in each line. Here I show a stressed syllable as "/", while an unstressed one is "-". In my example I used...OH MY GOODNESS. I am not mathematical at all and would never be able to write with such a complicated scheme. That said it had a lovely result. I don't know if I would ever want to complicate my work that much but fair play to you it is mre than I could achieve, a lovely poem and very clever kindest regards and well done Meia x

Comment from Debbie Pope
I would give this piece a six star if I had one. I am amazed at the restrictions under which you crafted this clever poem. I read all of your helpful notes. Thank you for including them. I have to tell you, one of my favorite things about this post. I have never heard of Minnetrista, Minnesota. What a mouthful. I shall have to use that name in something. I also like that you were inspired by a garden statue. That is so intelligent and observant of you.

Thank you Debbie. Your comments have me smiling. Glad you liked it. Minnetrista is a suburb on LaKE Minnetonka. That is a real tongue twister at that.
