Notes About The Poem

Form:  Infinite Dot Thirteen Verse

Is a rare form of poetry, where by the poem is made up of thirteen lines and within the poem has interspersed dots for emphasis on the spoken word. However the total number of dots must add up to 33, and the additions to arrive at this number must have significance. Examples would be 16/17 or 10/10/13 or mystical such as 12/12/9 and you can subdivide the 12 say as 7/5 to equal 12. In this example I Used the combination 6/3//7/5/12

 

Mega Death

All my friends have..... gone
Underground ....... they rest at my bare feet
Leaves blowing sequestered on this barren earth
Grey skies melodies of wistful sad notes
Lovers too... have died on me
.....underground they lie
The heart is a terrible cavern of loss
Alone, I amble to and fro
Knowing full well
I too have died
Infinite is
Death
My judgment soon to arrive ............underground

Ahh when loniliness replaces solitude..Yes We d feel that way Arthur,but We know that We can dig and dig from that underground ,and that warm light od the sun on our face,would make us remember ,its beautiful to breathe and taste the serene solitude without the damp cold loniliness.Have a blessed Easter dear friend.A deep poem indeed!
