Each compliments the other and together they intertwine — told with Razzle & Dazzle

Oftentimes when we think about music and poetry, it conjures up images of hearts, cupid, a bow and an arrow shot inside two throbbing hearts, transfusing them with a love potion. That magic enables a romance to develop. When love needs expression through the heart, we turn to poetry, and Valentine’s Day shows that there exists no shortage of versed works in the universal poetry basket. Rhymes we consider a natural component in the language of love, and a romance novel written in rhyming couplets obviously contains an abundance of those romance appropriated rhymes to make it the most felicitous vessel for conveying an entire love story; since a poem is the proper way to jot down a message of love from the heart, then an entire romance novel written in such a romantic and rhyming language has all that allure and ability to appease seekers of romantic action who otherwise dig through thousands of poems in the universal poetry basket to sap out the same effects. Rhymes remain the romantico-language of choice because of their connection to love and its expression through imagination and emotion. 

Lyrical couplets that rhyme move us attuned readers across a compositional page using acoustics and cadence, endowed with both, imparting both. Poems are aural compositions. They imbed and spread out energy in the read, making it more interesting, and nullify any sense dulling effects induced by any boring read written in prose. Sometimes, it takes great writing, in this case writing with rhyme, combined with a wondrous story, to take a tale out of the whispers of the ordinary and place it the roar of rah-rah fitted to the superordinary reads. Such work must be read aloud, since rhyming poems are written specifically with the ear in mind. That rhyme worthy Mazarine Dreamer contains Alexandrine lines fitted with as much resonance as the lines in a beloved song. Remember a music sheet, the one last seen. Only years of study enable us to actually ‘hear’ the sounds just by glimpsing at the stamped notes. Akin to the way sheet music functions, the music of poems emanates through using the instrument of the human voice. 

Remember that romantic poets capture the human condition; love is one of those special conditions. Love creates poetry just the same as poetry brings love an outlet. This mode of thinking fills the Western literary tradition. Even Plato writes that, “anyone that love touches instantly becomes a poet.” This romantic association remains strong even with the large disappearance of poetry from our mainstream popular culture. There exist several connections that allow us to associate poetry and love so inseparably with one another. The strength remains as unbreakable as the bonds of true love itself. The connection is also just as intrinsic. Love gets characterized by paradox; love exists at a public level, externalized, expressed beyond our inner selves, and also because it emanates as intensely private and interpersonal. Resultingly, it requires expression as it simultaneously resists it. Deep inside of lyrical poetry, always full of its own unique paradoxes and silences, love veins out a place for expression. There it lives, inside the rhymes, the language of love, the paradox ever strong, and the connection between language and love unerring.  

Romantic poetry encompasses feelings. Actual feelings captured in words then become translated and related to by the reader. Those poetic words activate, emphasize, and make brilliant the imagination as a positive and creative center. Poetry conjures up memories and encourages emotions to surface and associate with the written material, the theme, the message, and any other content. The story preserved in rhyme holds great power to mesmerize people who make connections between memory and emotion mainly because it contains evocative qualities; the characters, situations, and story ever-changing, able to keep the reader engaged and curious and making those romantic connections that they crave.  

We all have written or received a love poem, and so can personally infer that feelings run strong when love gets condensed into a written form. Reading a love poem makes our hearts pound. There the love remains, captured in words and ink, and the feelings stay there, and can even grow or be tapped into at need as one chooses to write or read the poem. A romantic novel written in rhyme provides the same function. Those Alexandrine lines, so full of life, vigor, and spirit, enable us to tap into our own feelings and then as readers we find ourselves well-guided by the written words, able to feel the excitement akin to the characters as they partake all the more heart strikingly on the same ventures in the story.

If writing about love in rhyme works for Shakespeare then it will work amply well for setting the proper romantic tone there inside of our shining Mazarine Dreamer. Readers and writers associate poetry with feelings over technique, the rigidity of the latter lent to prose. Obviously, romance intertwines with poetry, and the more it rhymes the more it mimics the song of a soul in love, smooth, rhythmic, and likable. Feelings abound in romantic poetry, and so by default, a novel in rhyme becomes the perfect place for experiencing those feelings. Romantic poetry has heart, and it explores the imagination, a critical contributor to love, as opposed to the scientific truth that merely dulls it all down. Realize that the ‘I’ voice becomes centralized in poetry, enabling the perceptions and feelings to come through om a personal level, memory and emotion invoking. Such conditions exist inside of Mazarine Dreamer as told through the viewpoint of Flavia Mavaret.  

The imagination plays a large role in romantic engagements, both in real life and in fiction. Romantic fiction places an emphasis on imagination because that is where all the creativity comes into play, and that enables a romance to develop, grow, and thrive, all in accordance to what the imagination invents and accepts. When forged into a written form, feelings that we could not otherwise pinpoint in ourselves become obvious; emotional channeling happens through romantic poetry. Call it a good feeling. That wholesome feeling allows us to feel warmly the positivity of using imagination in a read which requires it in order to explore those feelings, so the material in the written work can bring those out. Our creative faculties thrive with its free flow. Romance, imagination, and the surfacing of hidden, romantic feelings through the power of rhyme make Mazarine Dreamer a must-read. 

Emotion litters the pages of romantic work and correlates with memories. Memories hold emotional power heavily. All romantic works share common threads that relate the romantic experience to the heart in ways that enthrall the reader whilst broadening perceptions. Romance contains happiness and sorrows, both components necessary to the completion of a romantic experience, and poetry captures it well with its creative, rhyming, romantic form. Wistfulness summarizes the rollercoaster of emotions inside of a romantic read that we all crave. Timorous longing or unfulfilled desires abound on those pages written in rhyme where the long to see the fulfillment of those lacking moments becomes heavy inside the reader. The romantic tone the rhymes tweak and heighten to the likening of pulling strings on a heart. Reading romance in rhymes activates memories, good and bad, those of our great romantic joys, the regrets of past mistakes, or the hope of a person’s romantic future. Memories steam up powerful emotions, and Mazarine Dreamer allows readers a place to tap into those. 

1. To Escape From Our Daily Doldrums of Life 

Let’s face it, romance is far more interesting than taking naps and going to work. Things happen. Meaningful things that bring sentiment to a height and change lives for the better.  

2. Because It’s Still a Book 

Sometimes, we just want romance because it comes in the form of words on pages, and we are tempted to read it. It is another form of adventure. The type that occurs between two romancers.  

3. We Might Love Love 

We are in love with the idea of love and hopelessly mesmerized by it, primed to crave and devour romance insatiably. Love for love makes us read through romance full of sentimental feelings and a desire to see those characters gain all the love that they seek happily.  

4. For the Drama 

The more dramaturgical the work the more enthralling the read, and the more enthused we become to continue reading. Romance contains an abundance of drama, and we know that instinctually, having lived our own drama or two.  

5. Of course,  for the Happy Ending 

Romance promises an ending that brings happiness for the characters and the expectant reader. Happy endings, knowing one inevitable, makes the read positive and engaging from the get-go.  

All reading brings us a form of escapism, a way to reach cloud–cuckoo–land, and romance novels propagate fantasies and desires as an extension of such a cloudland. Through reading romance novels, readers get to live vicariously, feel the romance, the one undergone by the main lady character; that gives them again a place to thrive and fulfill fantasies. Imagine a dollhouse filled with dolls knowing that we as adults now use the same imagination to move characters through scenes in books the way we played with those dolls as children. The imaginative element of fictive romance makes it all too tempting to read and to most perpetual readers, addicting. Coupling that obsession with a rhyming scheme only furthers the romantic tint to it. The plethora of great romantic poetry shows up in rhyme. 

Ultimately, Mazarine Dreamer was born to be a rhyming novel. Why- because it is a romantic work. 

The poem is a symbol for love. Aha! Click- it is the ‘language of love’. Everyone gets it. A heart is made comprehendable. A romance novel written in rhyme in love is just one humongous work of love. 

Mazarine Dreamer contains all Alexandrine lines from beginning to end, all unique, well-crafted, and able to bring the ‘aha’ moment which each rhyming couplet. That when coupled with romance and adventure creates a romantic buzz. The messages connect as smoothly as a melody and a romantic story builds from there, adding to the suspense, emotions, and overall likability of the read. Those rhymes remain integral to conveying the same level of romance that we all feel there on Valentine’s Day when we actually open up a lovely card and read those heartfelt words. Anyone who receives love transforms into a poet; a poet feels love powerfully; that poetic side of our personality enjoys a novel in rhyme better than a novel in prose because it connects to the creative imagination and feelings that fill us when we engage in memories of love, making connections to the text, and basically seeking a happy experience in the read and its ending.
