In the pale midsummer night
Young lovers the forest adorn
Fiery passion shining bright
A love-star is bornYoung lovers the forest adorn
Bathed in magic full moon light, guarded by the fierce unicorn
Champion that for true love fightsFiery passion shining bright
Reflected in the spiral horn, shining beacon to every soul’s sight
As heart’s hope is rebornA love-star is born

Manifestation of the Goddess might, true heart and soul love is sworn
In the pale midsummer night
Written for Poetry Form: Trimeric at dVerse. Trimetric is a new form for me but one I found satisfying the same way I do Pantoums or Triolets, so I’m sure I’ll write more.
Also shared to the Writers’ Pantry.
Today’s poetry form is Trimeric (Trimeric \tri-(meh)-rik\), which was invented by Charles A. Stone.
The rules are pretty simple:
1. Trimeric has 4 stanzas
2. The first stanza has 4 lines
3. The other three stanzas have 3 lines each
4. The first line of each stanza is a refrain of the corresponding line in the first stanza (so 2nd stanza starts with the second line, third stanza starts with the third line, etc.).
5. The sequence of lines, then, is abcd, b – -, c – -, d – -.
No other rules on line length, meter, or rhyme.

I love this line: A love-star is born.
A passionate trimeric poem. Thanks for joining in.
I smiled at the reference to a unicorn. A mystical feel to the poem.
“shining beacon to every soul’s sight.”
A perfect poem for Midsummer, Helene! I like that you brought back the first line at the end to bring the poem full circle.
a love star is born indeedy stunning piece
you even circled back to the first line! amazing!
Unicorns and mid-summer – love and magic entwined. I enjoyed this very much.
The word ‘enchanting’ doesn’t even cover this! Well done.
I really enjoyed the fantasy elements here, nice use of the poetry form to infuse it throughout.
I’m thinking I should do some star gazing tonight … we have clear nights with thousands of star ~~ certain I will spot the ‘love star.’
This is incredibly stunning! I especially love; “Fiery passion shining bright
Reflected in the spiral horn, shining beacon to every soul’s sight.”💝💝
This was mystical fantastical and quite beautiful Helene. I love the forest I love love and I love love in the forest. You took me on a wonderful gentle mystical journey. So well written!
Wow this is so interesting and beautifully written.
I loved the feel of this poem as I read it. Yes, it really is a beautiful read.
Always lovely to know there is a new love star born
Happy Sunday
Much💛love

The pale midsummer night is so special… I think the stars are more in the mind than in the sky.
Thank you for reminding me of the trimeric, a lovely form to play with, and for sharing yours.
Lovely mid-summer passion in trimeric form. Well done!
