| A Lament Pushing against the tide He sees himself weak, Didn't he have a strong voice Once, wasn't he complete. Frailty was not his choice. Pushing against the tide He has his last breathing, In, then out - white ceiling, This the last thing he saw. His soul is sent reeling. Pushing against the tide All alone now - he’s gone. She’s wailing her lament Desperate deep feelings, She will never forget. Pushing against the tide Time heals all, quieter now. She barely hears her pain, Distractions ease the mind And life goes on again.   Written for "Invalid Item"  Form: Monchielle Stanza Number of lines: 20 Form Requirements Rules: This form is the creation of the popular Norwegian poet Jim T Henriksen, and it consists of four stanzas. Each stanza consists of five lines, and each line has six syllables (or, if you prefer, each line can be Iambic Trimeter). The first line of each stanza is a refrain (i.e. the line is repeated, so that each stanza has the same first line) and in the four following lines, lines three (3) and five (5) rhyme, lines two (2) and (4) do not rhyme. This gives a stanza pattern of: R.x.a.x.a R.x.b.x.b R.x.c.x.c R.x.d.x.d Choices for the poets to make this week: You can write each line with either six syllables, or you can write in strict Iambic Trimeter. |
