A Waltz Wave Poem (This form, named for Leo Waltz, the Web Manager of Sol Magazine, is a one-stanza titled poem, with nineteen lines; each line has a set number of syllables.
Pattern: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1)
The
music
of
your love
reverbrates
in my
heart,
and sends
an echo
back to you, to
fill corners
of our
lives
with the
sweetest of
refrains
and
softest
rain
Authors Note: Yes, Charlie, I know... I misspelled reverberates, but I did it on purpose. I could only have three syllables in that line so I cheated and stole a vowel. (My love won't mind... )

I like the words, the form and the message.

This is a new one on me too! I agree with Charlie - poetic licenses are granted to all who write in verse so the least we can do is make use of them :)
