A Stark Reality

Would seem she's only happy as lark When in her self induced paradise Again meeting a runner at the park with her life she always seems to dice A road on which she chose to embark I ask dose one ever really think twice Not just physically but emotionally a mark And you know one that is not very nice Still a reality that even now seems so stark But nothing else for her would ever suffice When still chasing the light and the dark One always asks though at what real price An old write taken from epic twenty verse poem her life style a little abstract about a past friend written 2014

Wonderful ABAB rhyme scheme, David, with an interesting story interwoven.

Thankyou been trying to do same pattern with many others a bit more abstract dont know what abab mean? Been looking back on old peices of work trying to recreate with metaphor trying to work on sixty of them at once but much was alsi challanging my self with new words and patterns even if l am still a bit amatur though at one time used to be in large paragraphs
