Atarlis Fileata [At’-ar-lee’ Fee-lee-ah’-tay] (Gaelic for "repeating poetic") is a 7-line poem with 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2 words per line, and only one rhyme — in the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th lines: ABacaBA, the first two lines reversing as the last two lines. (There may be a very slight variation in line 6 and 7, usually only changing one word or rearranging the words already used, but saying basically the same thing.)
There may be any # of stanzas, but each stanza must be able to stand alone.
Poetic Intent
Creative flow in written form presumes to artistically show an image, thought, evoke emotion. Understanding as minds grow; through written form created flow.
Cathy Bollhoefer~ copyright May2005
Shadows
Shadows form, In piercing contortion, Riding through love's storm. Granting amnesty from the pain, Memories of past norm, In piercing contortion Shadows form.
Cathy Bollhoefer~ copyright Jan2005
Ice
Icicles form Across front door, Courtesy of icy storm. Sparkling in bright sun's light To rainbow hues transform. Across front door Icicles form.
Layered ice Upon the tree. Will it's strength suffice To uphold it's branches still? Yet it looks nice Upon the tree, Layered ice.

Qetesh
Impassion'd rose Entwines golden ankh Embracing soul-illumined glows. Presented thine eternal goddess Qetesh With devoted symbolism, shows Entwined golden ankh, Impassion'd rose.
Cathy Bollhoefer~ copyright Jan2005
Love's Song
In fears, Sad hearts cry A deluge of tears. So yearning for his devotion, He whose love disappears, Sad hearts cry In fears.
Heart's refrain In simple harmony, Accompanied by emotion's rain. Such life is torn asunder, Love never to remain. Simple harmony in Heart's refrain.
Seasoned love, Life's new melody, Angelic kiss from above. A bond ever strengthened by Wings of white dove, Life's new melody, Seasoned love.

An interesting set of poems, Cathy. Thank you for posting them.
In particular, I liked this line:
"Granting amnesty from the pain."
"Atarlis Fileata" - Do you know which Gaelic this is, please? (No worries if not - just wondering).
Thanks, again, J.

Hi James!
I didn't know that there were different forms of Gaelic. I'll check it out and see what I can find. Thanks for taking the time to check these out.

Note: This does not fit the criteria, as there are no rhymes - Daniel:who clocked me?
with sixty
closing, and rhyme
with all discernible reason
completely absent in my brain
I cannot find words
to close, rhyming
with sixty

SELF-WORTH ~ ATARLIS FILEATA
Self-worth ... a strong characteristic; when nourished gives birth to aspiring dreams and accomplishments we celebrate with mirth; a strong characteristic, self-worth.

Another excellent example of your fine creation, Cat. Let's see if I can do mine right this time? brain storm
this form
works to challenge
one's senses, to perform
poetic artistry that's also sensible
yet stretching your norm
works to challenge
this form

As yet, my word count chops; unlike meter, let you pound out some stress upon thoughts, I bet no word count... as yet.
LOL

Hey, Cat! I notice that you've not been here to your creation for some time... but Terry has discovered your form, not knowing, I believe that you created it. Maybe you could stop in at Hermes and give him a pointer or two. I'm gonna drop in there now myself. I just stopped in for a brush-up myself before I tackled his. Lightly, Daniel Tarry, Terry!
so Terry... while your way o'er to Karnak's prairie to our Gaelic creator Cathy; moments with this fairy you'll while away... so tarry

Interesting response Daniel. I'm not certain though of the param Cathy states for the slight 'rearranging' of the last line. She states it should be a reversal of the first line, or can be slightly reworded. Have you found anything other than that in your practice of the form? ~Cleo

Thanks, Lori... and I hope you see that this is an attempt at a picture of the very thing that can happen in our midst here -- and often has! I believe, however, that you've misunderstood what Cathy said about reversal; the reversal is of the first and second lines becoming the last and second to the last lines, AND, she added: "(There may be [emphasis mine] a very slight variation in line 6 and 7, usually only changing one word or rearranging the words already used, but saying basically the same thing.)" You will see in her opening examples that she repeats and reverses the order of the first two lines in each one without changing the words -- even though, of course she may in some future revision. I'm looking forward to utilizing, experimenting with and perhaps even stretching the form further in the future... though I'm a bit limited in taking on too much just now. deLighting in rediscovering the form... and hoping Cathy will visit with her own direct comment! ~ Daniel

Ah, I see that now - thanks! Sadly, Cathy hasn't been on site for about a year now I think? I'll have to double check that... Hopefully, she'll be back soon as well! ~Cleo

on aging
fine wine
may age gracefully
but popped cork defines
a future suddenly poured out
and you don’t design
to age gracefully
fine; whine

Hi All, What a delightful new form! I see it was created by "Cathy", who just returned to our midst. I wanted to try one but it took me two days to get the rhyme scheme correct (and hopefully make sense.). Errors
Lessons... those which one learns through many trials, expose errors. Failure brings forth success eventually. As errors arose, one learned; which lessens those.
