Sorrow - Fixed, Orgininal Was Terribly Off Form

Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past Hope hides helpless now, in the midst of this turmoil Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, how long can I last Better days will come, to this it's taught stay steadfast Covered by black storm clouds, faith continues loyal Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past Happiness of youth, an idea we once encompassed Time moves fast making body, soul and heart spoil Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, how long can I last A day or reckoning If the soul can endure and outlast We look, examine our lives, many, sadly left to recoil Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past To one end, weak or strong, a shadow we must cast For that purpose, all strive, search, conspire and toil Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, how long can I last I just had to fix this poem. I was searching for something and saw how badly it was off form. Finding meaning in life, a quest that has turned vast However it's always elusive, at times angers to a boil Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, how long can I last

Wayland, I will have to review the rules of this form but to me it is reading well!! I see you enjoy darker topics for this form. You are right on point. When I studied this form in a home poetry course, they said that this is best used for sad or dark poems!
