The ATRINA form was Invented by Keith Metcalf Drew of AllPoetry.
The poem consists of four verses, the first three verses are constructed of four lines.
Each line consists of 8 beats.
The first and last lines in each verse are exactly the same.
The third line in each verse is of similar wording to the second line or reversed i however prefer it if you use the same words but reversed.
Then when you have written the three verses.
The fourth verse consists of the first two lines from each of the three verses.
Here is an example:
AN ATRINA:
Her heart it pales in shades of grey,
The pain inside to ever stay,
Inside the pain to ever stay,
Her heart it pales in shades of grey,
Reciting all the poems she’d read,
The lover lost within her bed,
Lost the lover within her bed,
Reciting all the poems she’d read,
And deep within she still believes,
The angels keep her heart its grief,
The grief her heart the angels keep,
And deep within she still believes,
Her heart it pales in shades of grey,
The pain inside to ever stay,
Reciting all the poems she’d read,
The lover lost within her bed,
And deep within she still believes.
The angels keep her heart its grief.
Example Poem
From the Mist (Atrina)
A love like yours is
heaven's gift.
It saved a soul that
was adrift.
A soul was saved
that was adrift.
A love like yours is
heaven's gift.
You came to me out
of the mist.
Your lips demanding
to be kissed.
Your lips expecting
to be kissed.
You came to me out
of the mist.
I left mere mortals
on the shore
to be with you
forever more.
with you I'll be
forever more.
I left mere mortals
on the shore.
A love like yours is
heaven's gift.
It saved a soul that
was adrift.
You came to me out
of the mist.
Your lips demanding
to be kissed.
I left mere mortals
on the shore
to be with you
forever more.
