The form of this poem is an OCTAMETER - OCTRAIN. That is a poem in which each line has eight syllables and each verse eight lines. Read it as you would read Longfellow's Hiawatha and you will appreciate how smoothly it flows. The first and last lines of each of the first three verses are identical. The last verse encapsulates all these six lines and is a PALINDROME. I am a protagonist of 'Structure in Poetry'. br br Perfect orthorhombic crystals br Found on Island of Topazos br Yellow pink and green and crimson br Our ancestors called it Topaz. br Precious gemstone for adornment br Of the lovely Roman Ladies br Rings and strings of beads for necklace br Perfect orthorhombic crystals. br br Topaz pure and lovely gemstone br Bright transparent saffron yellow br Prized talisman in Sri Lanka br Worn for health and wealth and wisdom. br Also prized by ancient Romans br NATURA - DEFICIT - FORTUNA br MATATUR - DEUS - CERNIT - OMNIA br Topaz pure and lovely gemstone. br br Topaz birthstone of November br Linked with Zodiac sign of Scorpio br Symbolizing love and friendship br Strength and blancing emotions. br Energy from Planet Pluto br Focussed through this precious gemstone br Into hearts of all who wear her br Topaz birthstone of November. br br Topaz formed in cooling magma br Perfect orthorhombic crystals br Topaz pure and lovely gemstone br Topaz birthstone of November. br November of birthstone Topaz br Gemstone lovely and pure Topaz br Crystals orthorhombic perfect br Magma cooling in formed Topaz. br br Dedicated to the PH Ladies - whose individual beauty br would enhance the brilliance of a perfect TOPAZ.
