Word Craft Poetry – Colleen Chesebro Poetry Challenge

Last month, Colleen Chesebro asked Yvette Calleiro to select a syllabic form for us to learn more about. Yvette’s choice was a form that Gwen Plano created, called the 4-11. You can find her 4-11 form HERE.

Gwen says the 4-11 is a stanza of eleven lines, four syllables each line. The beginning line also repeats as the last line. Here is Gwen’s example.

So here’s my attempt at Gwen Plano’s 4-11 poetry style: War of the Roses🥀

🌹Lover’s quarrel 
War of roses 
Can you hear my
heart shattering?
Who are we but
lovers who know 
each other’s hearts? 
Please take me back 
You are my soul
Kiss and make up 
Lover’s quarrel🌹

I hope you enjoyed the poem. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous day❣️
