Marti Sutherland Poet Rhyme

Fully Booked 1

Seemingly, a century spent behind fortress walls,
            my sanity guarded by seclusion.
                      Time, spent alone
                              crawls,
                  until unwanted intrusion.
              Whispers heard, a crying moan.
"One hundred years of solitude:"  my tombstone.

7 lines in the word pattern of: 7-5-3-1-3-5-7

Andrea Dietrich June 11, 2016 at 11:05 AM wow, GOOD and creepy, I'LL say!!! I loved this. your pattern is unique too. The middle word reminds me a wee bit of the Andaree form I invented last year and did a contest about! It's fun to me to see that you choose word patterns and not syllables for your lines. I love that you did 7/5/3/ 1/ Those are my FAVORITE numbers!!! If this does not score high, I'll be very surprised.
