Terza rima is a three-line stanza using chain rhyme in the pattern A-B-A, B-C-B, C-D-C, D-E-D. There is no limit to the number of lines, but poems or sections of poems written in terza rima end with either a single line or couplet repeating the rhyme of the middle line of the final tercet. The two possible endings for the example above are d-e-d, e or d-e-d, e-e. There is no set rhythm for terza rima, but in English, iambic pentameter is generally preferred.
For this week I sort of had this strange idea. Most people think sex and love go hand in hand, but what if your girlfriend was a pornstar. Sex is now work rather than love, so what does it mean when you have sex with her. That was the idea when I started it anyway. I'm not so sure that that conveys, but I sort of just let words whatever words pop out lead the way. The god damn formatting screwed me up quite a bit, and the rhythm is a bit funny.
"Is this love I feel right here?"
She slid my hand above her heart,
And whispered in my ear.
My hands began to slip her legs apart.
I lost myself inside her eyes,
While I thought that this just might go far.
I touched the lace on her thighs.
I laid my hand onto her face,
And sunk her body into mine.
I felt her heart begin to race.
While I held her tightly to my chest,
She pulled her hands down to my waist.
She ran her lips along my neck.
She whispered in my ear.
And with every heave we began to sweat.
Is this love what we have right here?
Will this passion survive our years?
