A Celestial Affair (Partenza Represa) Comments
The Partenza Represa is an original form created by Dawn Slanker. It contains any number of four line stanzas which can rhyme or not rhyme depending on preference. The most important features of this form is that it maintains a strict syllable line count of your choosing: 8*6*8*6,8*8*8*8,10*10*10*10...etc. And, each line must begin (anywhere you like) with the last portion of the line before it. Also, it's important to point out that you have the option of either continuing the first line of each stanza with a refrain from the line before it or you may choose to begin an entirely new line for each stanza. (Try one, I think you'll like it :)

Dawn, I absolutely love this poem. The true poets in my mind are the ancients who wrote of their mother and their father and their brother the wind and all things taken for granted by most people nowadays. You have made The Ancients proud. You made the Partenza Represa work well for this theme, too; I didn't pull it off with my attempt.
