On the wings of love(Lira)

My ode to men

On the wings of love I fly
Oh, much higher than any bird has ever flown
Wrapped in your tender arms I
feel a bliss before unknown
Praise to our Lord for your love to call my own

    This has a slightly old feel about it - a love poem of old - which I love. Excellent piece.
    All the best, Ingrid,

    Hello Ingrid,

    I am trawling through your back catalogue.This form is new to me and has only received one previous comment. Let's make amends...

    Firstly, the required format:

    Lira
    5 lines syllables 7, 11, 7, 7, 11
    Rhyme scheme ab abb

    On the wings of love I fly
    ^
    7 syllables and a beautiful carefree image. This depicts a willingness to be swept off your feet.

    Oh, higher than any bird has ever flown
    ^
    10 syllables - this should be 11. You could add the word 'much' after 'Oh'? just a thought. This line shows that this love is more powerful than any other before it.

    Wrapped in your tender arms I
    ^
    7 syllables. A cuddle, a hug (we know these don't we?) being wrapped in arms reminds us of being safe. This stems back to being in our mothers arms. To feel this safe, this loved is being cherished.

    feel a bliss before unknown
    ^
    7 Syllables. Like I said above, but more. No man has made you feel this loved. This is like a dream come true and I can feel the happiness of this moment.

    Praise to our Lord for your love to call my own
    ^
    11 syllables. A prayer to have god's love as your own. That is a big ask, but I think you are saying that this love is so important and huge that it must be a higher love. This higher love requires a prayer to make it come true. I hope it did Ingrid.

    A wonderful love poem.

    Take care,

    (((hugs)))
