Erase My Poem and My Rhyme
a Loop poem
Tomorrow will surely dawn,
assuredly as in days bygone.
Will tomorrow be the same
as yesterday and today exclaim?
The Fates have been less than kind
kind is saved for those who do not doubt
doubt will cause the whole cosmos,
COSMOS, to unravel like loose weave.
I am of no importance,
in the grand scheme of things I’ve no chance!
Happiness for those who dwell
in kingdom’s light far away from hell.
Does death remove the torment,
torment memories when love was young,
young we imbibed precious wine~
wine and magical fruit of our youth?
Dead is dead like love fallen,
like in war my soldier was fallen
Death will claim me in it’s time
and erase my poem and my rhyme.
*****
Couplets mixed with 4 line stanzas, the last word, first word scheme is maintained in the stanzas. It can also be used in the couplets. Rhyme scheme is ab, cc, defg, hh, ii, jklm, nn, oo.
A variation of the Loop poetic form created by Hellon. There are no restrictions on the number of stanzas nor on the syllable count for each line. In each stanza, the last word of the first line becomes the first word of line two, last word of line 2 becomes the first word of line 3, last word of line 3 becomes the first word of line 4. This is followed for each 4 line stanza .
