| MY LIFE IS A SHATTERED GLASS: a terzanelle [Persevere along the path, despite the stones hurled.] My life is a shattered glass. But I won’t accept defeat. I don’t live in the hour past. Troubles plenty I do meet, As on my path I proceed, But I won’t accept defeat. It is not easy, indeed, To forget stones hurled at me, As on my path I proceed. They envy my victory. I forgive them, I do try To forget stones hurled at me. My heart is hurt, I do cry. But, though it is difficult, I forgive them, I do try. It is a feeling occult: ‘My life is a shattered glass!’ But, though it is difficult, I don’t live in the hour past. * A terzanelle is a nineteen line poem consisting of 5 tercets and 1 quatrain. Out of the 19 lines, 5 are non-repeated lines while the remaining 14 are really 7 lines occurring twice.
