sometimes I  feel lost

and the world is covered in frost

sometimes I feel frustrated

and now everything is concentrated

sometimes everything feels too hard

I am a pawn you can discard

sometimes this life is cruel

it must be lived your rule

sometimes that is vague

and wish I could trade

 

Very clever little piece, especially when shaped

 

Thanks Jen

I usually write free form so this genre is not my usual

hence the title LOL

Hi Cara,

 

A poem shaped like a vase. Very nice. Now, you just need a flower-shaped poem to go with it.

 

Seriously though, prose and free-form were the only forms of poetry that I ever felt comfortable with when I started writing. I'd tried rhyming poetry, but I wasn't very comfortable with it. It took ages for me to get to grips with rhyming poetry - and it shows just how much I've changed as, nowadays, I'm more comfortable with rhyming poetry than freeform.

 

OK, I'm off to bed now. 'Night all!

It is good to try out different forms - as yet I'm pretty hopeless with shapes and am trying hard to lay out my work better - I enjoyed reading, thank you

Hi, Cara.

 

I quite agree, experimenting with different forms and styles isn't just good fun, but it's also good development. I much enjoyed this.
