    A Kiss

     Poem 2:
    Write a poem of 15 to 18 lines using tercets (3 line stanzas). Make use of a refrain within the poem. Realize when you construct the refrain that it will be used within the three parts of the poem: opening, turning point and closure. So be aware that the refrain has to be constructed in a manner that will offer intent within all three literary parts of the poem. Understand also that a refrain doesn't have to be on every stanza or evenly spaced within the poem.


    They call it a kiss
    A butterfly’s touch
    The gentlest rest

    They call it a kiss
    A summertime breeze
    The warmest caress

    They call it a kiss
    A drizzling rain
    The heavenly dress

    They call it a kiss
    A sweltering sun
    The desire for less

    They call it a kiss
    A bee's painful sting
    The soul of true stress

    They call it a kiss
    Whatever it is
    They call it a kiss

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
