Dimensions of Love
Dimensions of Love
Love begins newfound hope.
Brings dreams reality cherishes.
Great desire pleasing two,
Joy thriving everlastingly, esteemed.

Dedicated to Constance, the Rambling poet for an inspiring contest.
(I missed the contest, though.)
New Poetic Form: Grid Poetry
In grid poetry, the number of lines in the poem equals the number of words in each line.
The poem in order to be complete must be read horizontally, as usual, and then vertically. Diagonal
readings reflect the title as demonstrated below.
The VERTICAL reading written horizontally reads as follows:
Love brings great joy
Begins dreams, desire thriving.
Newfound reality pleasing everlastingly,
Hope cherishes two, esteemed.
The DIAGONAL readings, which reflect the title, are as follows:
Love dreams pleasing, esteemed.
Hope. Reality. Desire. Joy.
