The short poems (some of which are monorhyme quatrains) exhibited in this special post pay homage to rhyming schemes and rhythmic devices as well as symmetry, compatibility, calligraphy, styling, designing, graphics and animations, all of which are in the service of the simultaneous presentation of art and poetry, both texturally and pictorially.

For example, in the third line of both stanzas of SoundEagle🦅’s poem displayed above, “Rein” rather than “Reign” is technically more appropriate, as explained in a blog post of the Oxford Dictionaries entitled “Rein or reign?”, not to mention that “Reign” is intransitive as a verb. Nevertheless, the blog post also states: “There’s obviously a strong tendency in our minds to wish to associate the phrase free rein with allowing a person the freedom of power that some rulers formerly wielded when reigning over their oppressed subjects: I can see the somewhat tenuous logic in this.” Aside from that, SoundEagle🦅 has chosen to use “Reign” instead of “Rein” in the poem for the following reasons:

1. To deploy or exploit the close connections and ambiguities between the words “Reign” and “Rein” in their spellings, pronunciations, connotations and denotations with respect to the subject matters and stylistic delivery of the poem.
2. To convey the poem more on linguistic imports and figurative potentials rather than literal meanings.
3. Unlike the Horse🐎 (of the Gothic Knight), SoundEagle🦅 is never (meant, fit or compelled) to be reined in or ridden on, with or without a rein.
4. SoundEagle🦅 prefers the word “Reign” as it feels more “Regal”. Without the letter g, “Regal” loses its magic and becomes “Real” just as “Reign” turns into a rather drab “Rein”, which is meant for the Horse🐎, not for a noble being or entity like SoundEagle🦅 or the Unicorn🦄.
5. “Reign” is more interesting than “Rein” since the former’s letter g is the only alphabet protruding downwards, much like the letter p in the word “Usurp” from the preceding line of the poem. In other words, “Reign” and “Usurp” have higher compatibility with respect to calligraphy.
6. Another compatibility (as well as symmetry) is also at play to the extent that SoundEagle🦅 would like to start each of the two inner lines of the first stanza with a verb comprising five letters. “Reign” and “Usurp” both have five. “Rein” has only four.

ೋღஜஇ Notes இஜღೋ

Dear Readers,

In general, SoundEagle🦅’s poems reveal a humanity and sensitive spirit with certain tenderness coloured by various intensities of yearning and understanding.

Regardless of length and form, SoundEagle🦅 typically composes mainly rhyming poems, often with end rhymes, internal rhymes, alliterations, assonances, consonances, sibilances as well as rhythmic devices, syllabic schemes, musical patterns, and other subtle or overt features. This predilection towards rhyming poems is not in any way suggesting or implying that free-form poems are not worthy of our reading and writing, as long as we bear in mind that many of the free verses that we routinely encounter can be too unstructured and ad hoc, somewhat rough and ready or crude but effective, their form (or lack thereof) even widely abused, exploited or misunderstood by those who lack the required imagination and discipline to achieve or maintain poetic excellence, irrespective of the extent to which such poems have been or are meant to be emancipated from the tyranny of rhymes and the shackle of metered lines.

In other words, SoundEagle🦅 can be regarded as a neo-formalist cum experimentalist poet preferring to express in form and metre rather than free verse, whilst also appreciating the sound and import of words as well as the look and feel of artful displays without being unnecessarily encumbered by observing rigid rules and structures to the detriment of fostering creativity and innovation.

Beyond composing poems featuring rhyme, assonance and alliteration in various imaginative ways to impart appealing musical tenor and lyrical expression to our poetic oeuvre, we may also consider the use of rhythmic schemes, syllabic patterns and other numeric properties and calligraphic considerations, plus the additional creativity and presentational fecundity of having our poems combined with or incorporated into art, calligraphy, graphics, illustrations, animations, musical compositions and multimedia, an example of which is provided by the post entitled 🎼🎹—THE—🎹—LAST—🎹—RAG—🎹🎵🎶.

Longer and more sophisticated examples include the following:

• 🎴 If My Name Were Moon Tonight… 🌛🌝🎑🈷 with Clair de Lune 🌕
• 🌕🎴 假如今夜我的名字叫月亮… (If My Name Were Moon Tonight…) 🌛🌝🎑🈷
• 🌌🚀 One Day We’ll Fly Away ✈️💫✨
• ❄ ❅ ❆ Snowflakes, Tell Me Why You Are…
• 🏝💗 Romancing by the Beach and Sea with True Love and Reminiscence 😶‍🌫🐚🐟
• 🌫 Till Eternity… 🏝🏞

In any case, readers are advised that they should keep writing poems so that they may continue to improve and satisfy themselves, never mind too much what others might think of their poems. After all, poetry is always a subjective art and caters to different people and purposes. One person’s poem could be another person’s poison.

Marie the Moon shineth bright
Upon this cold dark winter’s night
And findeth solace and true love
In SoundEagle🦅’s arms above
Wherein he reigns eternally
And not in rein without the ‘G’
