The actor lives upon the stage
With his voice, his tale conveys
Reciting lines in mellow tones
Captures all that hear
The writer lives upon the page
With his hand, his tale portrays
Penning lines, each word he hones
Seduce the eye instead of ear
I do not know if there is a name for this style of poetry, but I have written it with every fourth line rhyming, so that the two stanzas are dependent upon each other for their verse.




Wonderful! I love that the two stanzas are dependent upon each other. Fascinating 🙂
