Many Women  (E) An Andaree poem for Poet's Place Form of the Week January 5, 2017 #2107686 by Chris Breva

The Andaree is a rhyming syllabic form contrived by Andrea Dietrich. The structure starts with an 11 syllable line and descends by 2 syllables in each line until it reaches 1 syllable and then it ascends back to 11 syllables, which is a repeat of the first line. The rhyme scheme is AabbcbcbbaA.


In my lifetime I have loved many women
I am lucky now I'm yours again
I know this could be so wrong
I will sing your song
Love is real
Strong
My heart steal
And always belong
So I all of my life long
Have now sworn away from all my sin
In my lifetime I have loved many women.
