The Rise and Demise of The Maid of Orléans (For Workshop Rhythm and Meter in Poetry )
A child here heaven does call, - shall be brave
Souls must save, fighter stand tall
By virgin hands English fall
Will of God speaks to a girl - precious youth
Witness truth, her fire unfurl
Almighty wrath she now hurls
Fearless, accepting her fate - sad demise
Spirit rise through holy gate
In heaven trust, angels wait

"that makes sense, and changing the rhythm briefly helps bring more depth to the poem. It's like writing a song really I guess Thanks for helping :)" -

About Me
About me
Hello, just a poet who no doubt has a lot to learn. Been writing poetry since I was 16, I also write songs and tinker on my guitar. I Found writing better than counselling. For me poetry has been a tool, to help me through life’s struggles. I work in Ocupational Therapy and I am a trustee for a charity. Helping widowed people in financial crises. Something very important to me as I have been that widow. I love my son and my dog. Life is about giving and being there for others. I get a lot of rewards from my life now. I hope I learn much from here and many thanks for taking an interest and reading about me. All the best

Favorite Poets
I guess my most favourite is the poet that encouraged me to write. Mr Poe himself. He was a poet stricken with grief and someone I could relate to. I use to read him to death. Since then I have read others such as Emily Dickinson and Shelley
to name a couple. But I also get a lot of joy from reading others who write within communities. Poets tend to take us on a journey
I find it insightful when I read others works
