~ The Poet's Place Cafe~

I had trouble, as usual trying to figure out how to do this one I am so sorry if I did it wrong,


The duplex is a new form that renders the musicality and structure of the ghazal, the sonnet, and the blues on a single plane. The poem starts with a couplet of two distinct lines. The second line is repeated and a new line is added, and then repeated until there are seven couplets of nine to eleven syllables each. Although the poem sounds iambic, it retains its relationship to the metrical tradition of the ghazal. The first line is the fourteenth line. The rhyme (via repetition) and the turn are reminiscent of the sonnet. The duplex holds tradition in its embrace while calling that embrace into question."


God is the Creator
By Lisa Noe

God is my Creator, and He is yours too.
Regardless of what you believe, it is true.

God created you too, that is the truth.
All of the things on earth, my God created.

The entire earth did my God create.
From the earth, made the man and from man, woman.

I believe this with all my heart and soul.
He made the woman from the rib of a man.

He spoke from the darkness, “Let there be light”.
Light did come to pass and daytime was born.

God spoke “Let there be light,” and the day was born.
I am in awe of what God created.

What God created is so very special.
In His hands, the world was certainly born.
