They smile at you with glee,
And all your worries flee!
Wiping away your tears, and
Lending you a comforting shoulder,
~They make you feel ill at ease~
But that’s not really the part of the deal,
They don’t care a bit how you feel!
All they need is the juicy gossip,
Which they will use for their own profit!
Until the next post,
Love,

Had read about this poetry style last month at Poetry Jam but hadn't got time to experiment with it. Finally here is my try at Puente poem!
About Puente Poem:
A poetic form, the Puente (which means bridge in Spanish), uses a one line "bridge" to connect the first and last stanzas. Here's how it works:
- 3 stanzas
- Stanzas 1 and 3 contain different ideas, thoughts
- Stanzas 1 and 3 consist of the same number of lines (meter and/or rhyming up to poet)
- Stanza 2 connects meaning from first to last stanza
- Stanza 2 must be one line enclosed in tildes ( ~ )
- Stanza 2 is the last line of Stanza 1 and first line of Stanza 3

Until the next post,
Keep Smiling :)

yah this is the bitter truth of life! :(
ReplyDeleteTruth poetically depicted. Loved it. The puente sounds complicated.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's quite a challenging structure. Beautifully done, Swathi!
ReplyDeleteVery creative Swati! The world is full of two faced people, one needs to be wary of such people.
ReplyDeleteHa! I know a few like that, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteThis was an excellent poem!
ReplyDeleteYou're very talented.
wonderfully penned. I loved how the the two stanzas are describing two different thoughts using same action.
ReplyDeleteSo true for some people no? The double faced ones! Lovely rhyme in this one! You did a great job with Puente, haven't tried this ever! Seems complicated! ;)
ReplyDeleteSad that humans are double faced and feel meh at such behavior. Great Puente and first time hearing bout it, Swathi and thanks for educating me on this new form of poetry:)
