Love Is But A Whisper
circular chain verse
Love is but a whisper A whisper upon a soul A soul that is committed Committed to what feels right The right to care and to give To give with wholeheartedness Wholeheartedness founded in sovereignty Sovereignty to oneself and life Life is but a filament A filament of naked light The light unto the universe A universe pulsating with energy Energy, a harbinger of potential Potential to transform Transform into something wondrous Wondrous as love Love is … ❤️
Thank you for reading my poem. For those of you interested in poetic forms, my poem is in a style that dates back to medieval France and is known as chain verse.
I was inspired to craft a poem in this style after reading Suntonu Bhadra’s poem, Voices. Although Suntonu applied his own interpretation of chain verse for his poem, it prompted me to research the foundation of this type of linked verse.
The theme of my poem, love is, was inspired by Dr. Preeti Singh’s poem, Love is an Emotion.
Many thanks to both poets. 🙏 💕
