Poetry Anatomy
side which is breaking through the barriers that hinder your destiny. The hero and the villain. Another interesting aspect which I try to avoid is the rhyme of life and knife in the last line. Having coincidences like this can make people expect it next time and when it’s not there, their brains have to readjust to the format.
I then follow with the determination since a hellish life, most of the time,is never as bad as it seems and breaking out of the metaphoric barriers, you can tell you are on the right track toward your great destiny. Sacrificing is needed as well as pursuing in a good hearted way. Again I sum it up with an encouraging word that you can do it.

Dreams for Love and Peace
Dreams for love and peace
Bonded solid ever more
Ties that never cease
Linked eternal at the core
With the one that you adore
Living loving team
Completeness of life for you
Life filled flowing stream
Filled with joy you never knew
Sharing life that you’ll go through
Brushing of the hand
Chills of brilliant ecstasy
Joy you cannot stand
Loving every thing you see
Cared for loved and always free
Footnote:
The Tanka format in the love subject. Maybe a little short though.
Again, I have avoided using the same rhyme twice during the poem. Still, these are pretty easy words to rhyme.
The first stanza is introducing the poem with the overall topic, but I elaborate to show the strength of the bond to show that it’s more that the first line suggests in the form of the status quo. It also touches on the never ending attribute of true love.
Another aspect is the team. Where one is weak, the other is strong, so each using and developing their strengths makes for a powerful team. In that sense, they complete each other. Then I use a metaphor for the joy as life, growing, creative, energising, and that life is flowing through the team.
So it starts with the introduction on what sort of love, then the team living aspect, of every day life.
The finale of this poem is the personal experience. It’s describing that loving feeling which separates it from a basic relationship. It’s where you are blown away by the awesomeness you have in your life. This is not saying that this is needed in every relationship all the time since there is a stage where you have to live in reality and have a life. Therefore, this stage in which I am mentioning is the point where you are forgetting about the world and cherishing your partner. It’s one of those moments.

Eagle’s Flight
Up above the earth
An eagle flies through the sky
Freedom spawned at birth
Soaring up above so high
Sunset beams into her eye
Water down below
Ocean blue and sharp sea green
Sands that seem to glow
Brilliant river mouth is seen
Striking clear and crystal clean
River leads to falls
Mist flows through the forest floor
Trees are river walls
Never seen this sight before
Stunning beauty evermore
Eagle sees her nest
Baby eagles squawk away
Mountains ledge of rest
Snow peaks sun bake here today
Here’s the place where she will stay
Footnote:
This is one of my favourites. I think it’s because I love eagles. Have you ever wished you could be so free? Soaring above the earth gliding on the winds? Wow how cool would that be? Anyway that’s what I aimed for in this poem, to give the awesomeness of nature from an awesome natural prospective.
So we start with a location, and our protagonist. Then I sum up the awesomeness and freedom which we all crave. And then I triple the pristine visual with a sunset from the eagles view.
But we can’t leave it at that. This is a journey. The eagles eye sees the awesomeness of the natural world, her world, the place where she is free. So now we see that it’s a sunset over the ocean. But I don’t end there. I lead this journey up the brilliant river.
And where does the river lead? To the brilliance of the forest. So now imagine the fiery red sunset glowing through the forest mist. A water fall with an eagle flying and a brilliant sunset. It’s like a painting that one could salivate over.
But then I enter a whole new world. Cuteness mixed with the inner beauty of a mother returning to her adorable children. The inner spiritual beauty. The snow glowing with a pink tinge in the brilliant sunset. Home. Bliss. How awesome it would be.

Footnote: The Alliteration
I don’t expect anyone to ever restrict themselves as much as I have with this format. I have gone overboard. Feel free to use words like and and the. Just because I chose to make every word start with the same letter, doesn’t mean you have to.
I also added an extra level of complexity which I doubt I will use again. My alliteration lines are in alphabetical order.
The problem with adding all these limits onto the poem is that it becomes highly difficult to have coherent understandable meaning that is related to the subject.
The big problems are J and K, since they don’t have many words that you can use. Therefore, after 20 of these poems, the J and K lines would be very similar.
Even I am in awe of this. It even flows well with the rhythm.
That I line blows me out. 7 words all fitting seamlessly as if it could be something someone would say.
And overall, I keep the theme very well. So just remember the alliteration techniques from the Prose and them use that level of alliteration for each line regardless of the letter order. I did this more as showing off since clear understandable meaning is limited. This takes deep thinking to grasp the meaning.

Another Ageless Angel
Another ageless and awesome angel
Blessings boundless beauty born

Heavenly hope helps honour heal

Footnote:
So here you will see that with those huge restrictions, that the entire poem can have a totally different feel. Take note of J and K.
Here I start with the spiritual angel that is awesomely beautiful regardless of age. Where the blessings and beauty
of the relationship are born into existence. The love making is the subject of the next line. The dreamy state of the relationship and dreams of an awesome future, build up the desire to be in the relationship.
It’s bliss every night. The fun of foreplay during that night. The goals of pleasing each other are freely given out of love for one another and wanting each other to be happy. The hope of love that is heavenly, will build a person’s personality towards goodness and an honourable existence.
The interest in a relationship with another person, inspires them to be a better person. Two lovers celebrating the shared Joy in this journey. The movement and energy in the kisses received are based in kindness and are a result of past kindness given. Lovers in long loving relationships live longer than single people.
Let’s make beautiful music together, a quote which implies sex. Embracing the human needs and making sure that a partners emotional needs are met too. Although I say orgasmic, I mean it in the sense of climatic emotional excitement to the options you have at your disposal, to enjoy a meaningful ongoing relationship. Isn’t almost everything enjoyable if you are with the love of your life?

Footnote:
Notice I used the word awesome again? I didn’t realise when I wrote this poem that I had used awesome before. It’s nothing major but it just goes to show that with the more restrictions you have, the more you tend to use similar things to the poems of the past with the same restrictions. I also use the kinetic again. If you want to do it like me, look through all the words you can use in the dictionary
