Lon Wartman Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

This is your one chance, your one chance at life.  Cherish it and protect it for this is the only moment you will ever have. Allow life to live in your heart and soul.

Life

Some Day
We all will pass,
Through time’s immortal glass.

Life is but three trillion to one.
A magnificent gift.
To all who’ve won

A treasure trove 
Of endless possibilities,
Mindful responsibilities. 

To be cherished,
To be nourished,
Not perished.

Not to be taken,
Neither forsaken, 
But to be awakened. 

To be respected,
And protected;
Not neglected.

Mothers of mankind,
Give us peace,
Give us tranquility and serenity. 

Bury our unkind deeds
Under mountains of seeds,
Our hearts do bleed.

Your one chance,
Make it dance.
Rejoice,
Rejoice in your Life.

Robert Schatz September 22, 2023 at 11:20 PM Hi Lon. I really like your rhyme scheme. I'm trying to discern the pattern. Excuse while I think out loud: 2nd and 3rd lines rhyme in the first stanza; 1st and 3rd in the second; 2nd and 3rd again in the third; 1st and 3rd in the fourth; then all three in the fifth and sixth; none in the seventh; all three again in the eighth; 1st and 2nd (of four lines this time) in the last. Hmmmm... Lon Wartman September 25, 2023 at 10:09 AM Robert: You posed an interesting question. When writing this poem, I did not pay any attention to the Rhyme Scheme. In retrospect, had I replaced stanza 5 with stanza 6 the scheme might have been a little more fluid. Stanza 7 is where i flip the poem a bit and stanza 9 relates back to Stanza 1. Most all my poetry is designed around 3 or 4 lines per stanza in a free verse mode. Thanks for your comments
