About This Poem

Please don't Follow

I step along a path to nowhere.
Why am I heading this direction?
will anyone else follow me there?

It's my choice I made the selection.
Still I know I am becoming lost.
Why am I heading this direction?

With every choice life exacts a cost.
Somehow in my mind it all makes sense.
Still I know I am becoming lost.

Walking along the fog becomes dense.
I am not swayed I keep going on.
Somehow in my mind it all makes sense.

Before I know it my days are gone.
I live in my world without the sun.
I am not swayed I keep going on.

This way I chose is a lonely one.
I step along a path to nowhere.
I live in my World without sun
Will anyone else follow me there?

    Hi Anne I hope you still like it, I had forgotten a stanza so it has changed a bit.

    I really like how you do your terzanelles with such short succinct lines!! I am always using iambic pentameter, but I don't think it is necessary. Just how they come out in me. This is really a NEAT poem and I think you handle this form masterfully!

    Thanks Andrea, perhaps I don't use iambic pentameter because I don't know what it is *lol* please educate me.
