It Was Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time not so long ago,
I turned my back on love felt I had to go.
I watched happiness become sorrow in your eyes.
Each time I saw some tears another part just dies.

Once upon a time seem much like a dream.
Life was very easy like drifting downstream.
I remember how you were my stars and moon.
Inspiration was served upon a silver spoon.

Once upon a time doesn’t seem so real.
I find it getting harder for me to even feel.
I wonder did it happen or was it in my mind.
This happiness I felt was just once upon a time.

Once upon a time maybe it shall come again
I hope for love to grow from the ashes of the end.
The sun is rising up time to start the day anew
Once upon a time I felt this love that was so true.

Sorry, this poem is not considered a "nonet" poem. A nonet is a nine line poem with one syllable in the first line, two syllables in the second line, and on until the ninth line has nine syllables. A nonet also does not have to rhyme. What you have here is more of a "rhyme" poem.

You don't have to be sorry you are right this is a narrative poem I must have hit the worng catagory i shall fix it. You have a nonet backwards though it starts with nine and ends with one i believe but I could be wrong. Have a great day......Mark

Hating "Love" is stupid. It's like hating God. The truth is love ain't much but its all we have. The poem needs work to be convincing.

I think you missed what this poem is about I don't hate love or do I think it ain't much. I recieved a review yesterday and they said when they were sad they returned to a time when things were happier this is in response. Once upona time when things were much better. Have a great day and take care mark.
