Mark Russell Poet Narrative

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.

Robert Pettit February 13, 2012 at 1:02 AM 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. Mark Russell February 13, 2012 at 7:19 AM 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

February 13, 2012 at 12:49 AM 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. Mark Russell February 13, 2012 at 7:25 AM 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.
