Epigram Style Poem - 16 Lines


Trying a new poetic style: Epigram

Epigram is a rhetorical device that is a memorable, brief, interesting, and surprising satirical statement. It originated from the Greek word epigramma, which means “inscription,” or “to inscribe.” Often ingenious or witty statements are considered as epigrams,

Today was Day One of Tiff's chemotherapy, which lasted nine and a half hours. Her next session is on May 9th for another epic round. After seventeen days, her hair begins falling out. I beat her to it and shaved my hair off this past weekend.

The doctor advised that she continue this for six to seven months, do more testing, and then begin again.

She is my Hero.

Time in a Bottle

Song by
Jim Croce

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure, and then
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

My heart is broken right now.

I just read your reply to the other comment on this. As someone who has also had their universe shattered, I don't have any advice. The way my spouse met their end was different.

Still I understand the feeling. For me? I just wanted to tear the universe apart to get my husband back. For months I just hoped he'd walk through the door and it'd all be some stupid, ill conceived joke.

My heart aches for you. I hope you can find some joy with your wife during these final years. *Hug1**Frown**Hug2*
John Author Icon - I'm sorry..make good use of the time you have. I believe in miracles. God is in charge of all things..don't turn fromHim turn TO Him.

My husband has dementia and is in nursing home..dosent know me. I know it's not the same..but they pain is..live each moment to the fullest thst you can and remember God is there for you.

I really REALLY enjoyed this. Would give some American Christians a heart attack but not me. *Ha*

Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon - I am so glad you enjoyed this story. When I wrote it, I knew where I initially wanted to go; however, halfway through, I had an epiphany regarding the how it should end.

Thank you again!
