I wanted to find some interesting styles of poetry for 2022. Metered poetry has always been a challenge for me. I discovered I subconsciously avoided the challenge of dabbling in this particular writing pattern. This year I decided to spread my wings and fly into the face of the storm. I stumbled across the Aquarian by accident and thought it might be interesting to play with this metered style during the last part of January and the entire month of February. This one I will call Crimson Passion.
About the Aquarian and Crimson Passion
Maris Mazz created this metered style of poetry.
Each stanza has lines of 2/4/6/2 syllables. They can have any number of stanzas creating multiples of 4 lines. They aren’t supposed to rhythm at all.
Crimson Passion Crimson Pomegranate seeds Crammed into the middle Of fruit Crimson Strawberries and Bright red cherries passion To eat Crimson Red high heel shoes Disregarding knee pain Feet sex Crimson Lipstick on pale Mouth smile and frown at him Entice Crimson Like a speeding Sports car past the bold red Stop sign Crimson Fire of passion A lingering desire Burning Crimson Like the apple First offered to Eve by The snake Crimson Like the roses Sitting on a bedroom Dresser Crimson My favorite M&M so colorful and sweet To taste

nice work 🙂
Yes, be careful of high heel shoes. I know a person who has to go to surgery because of the high heel shoes. What a wonderful poem to talk about the risk and the enjoyment.
Thank you.
