On June 03rd, the good folks at dVerse MTB featured Anaphora poetry and generously offered a complete lesson on how to work with the form.
I looked through that week’s craft but failed to assimilate with the beauty of it. Perhaps I’m not ready yet– give me time; I’m a slow learner *wink*
The linky widget of two weeks ago has expired, so I cannot add this poem there, but I wish to acknowledge them anyway for telling me of the rules that informed this post.
BUT, this is not all.
I would have altogether missed the whole thing if it hadn’t been for Grace’s poem that I read this morning.
Grace’s poem got me writing this one for the repetition poetry form of June 17th, Trimeric Poetry Form at dVerse. Thank you so much.
Reader: please click on the links for more details that I promise will leave you in a state of awe.
My poem gets a tad bit sensual, Dionysiac, but where the poem takes you depends on how you interpret it. I hope you like how your toes will curl.

Wind On My Porch Twilight came gently with an invitation sent my feet searching for the gallant whisperer and as I peeked out to greet the sender Wind rushed up, plumped out my dress sent my feet searching for the gallant whisperer who'd visited often in many night dreams but left me longing in tangled bed sheets and as I peeked out to greet the sender anticipating a wild reunion felt my toes curl with childish abandon Wind rushed up, plumped out my dress bathe me with warmth and sweet caresses told me sweet nothings, right on my porch *** © 2021 selmamartin.com

Your profile tells us you are a ‘simple woman’ …. there is nothing simple in the luscious Trimeric you gifted us. I love it ~ the image is stunning (I want that dress.)
See, even simple people can fly. 😜 simple doesn’t mean boring, right? I know what you mean, Helen and I appreciate you reading and commenting my friend.
Yes, isn’t that dress so beautiful? I want one too.
Be well, sweet lady. All the best. xo 😚
A passionate trimeric. Thanks for joining in at dVerse.
The pleasure’s all mine. Thanks for having me. You guys rock!
Selma,
A sensual delight. :>)

Thanks for reading, Dora. 🙇♀️ 🙏
The wind comes with so many promises, but maybe we need something more for it to come true.
Magical like always. Your words are so tender yet efficient in the way they are structured. Not a false note anywhere. Love it!
Beautiful, sensual, dreamlike – fantastic!
Aww. I’m honored you read.
I enjoyed all the sensory details of this poem, Selma. It did remind me a tad of the push-pull love affair between Scarlet ‘O’ Hara and Clark Gable’s character in Gone with the Wind, though less tempestuous and more romantic. 🙂
So glad the words transported you to a nice place. I appreciate you reading and commenting. Be well my friend.
This is exquisitely woven! I especially love; “and as I peeked out to greet the sender/ anticipating a wild reunion/ felt my toes curl with childish abandon.”💝💝
