Three Kuhlman Poems--By Brian Strand--England

DESPAIR

From night: dark, black, dawns: the light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPRING

Come day: warmth, white, blossoms: at play.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PASSION

From love: lust, pride, nothing : can hide.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 ‘kuhlman's is a form I derived from the sonnets of Quirinus Kuhlmann (1651-1689) famous sonnet Love-Kisses XL1.The 'kuhlmann' is a short verse form of two phrases, interspersed by three related monosyllabic 'stem words'(nouns,adjectives etc) , separated by commas, between the 'colons ' to form a phrase therefrom.It has One word integral title. Here are my 3 'kuhlmann' for your consideration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian Strand has created short poetic forms including 'broken monoku' (a haiku variation) and 'footle' (a trochaic monometer with witty, topical, etc themes) and Captioned Cartoon, an Ekphrasis combining his art and poetic interests. He has published a seven kindle ebook series Poetic forms; A Strand of Verse; My Choice Strand Verse; A Strand Guide; Christianity Explained; A Strand critique; and Captioned Cartoon Ekphrasis. Brian has written nearly 200 Amazon reviews and is a Wiki poetry and art editor.

    Struggling with these I have to say. Thats because, I was an instant covert to the 'broken monoku' and 'perfect six', no doubt!
    Will get there! Best wishes Ralph.
