Notes About The Poem

My first attempt at a Prism poetry form as created by John Anderson. See his 12/30/2025 blog for description of the form:

Prism

Chase

Always behind on the path
never reaching the light
forever pursuing the dream

Sorrow is felt at the end
when the shades of life 
close leaving only regret 

and black shadows 
where red and yellow in green 
meadows once cavorted 

Barren now
the color of dreams
faded to forgetfulness
