Jared Pickett Poet Quatrain

Never Compromising

Never Compromising


My heart has moved on and tears have been shed.
Patience spread thin, relationship is dead.
When I talk you don't respond, withdrawn!
Tears have been shed and my heart has moved on.

Love was not enough, so much for destiny!
Tough, walking on eggshells is misery!
This life together has gotten rough
So much for destiny, love was not enough!

Never compromising, always a fight
the times I get the urge to write!
Constantly struck over-analyzing!
Always a fight, never compromising

Mind is wandering, strangers to conquer,
to much time has already been squandered!
Suffering has passed, now prospering!
Strangers to conquer, mind is wandering!!





For Andrea Deitrich's "Swap Quatrain" contest!
Name withheld until contest is over!

Just That Archaic Poet February 20, 2014 at 12:47 PM Hello, friend Jared. I liked this piece, but you have some jagged rhymes here and there and breaks in rhythm. I think if you go back and polish this up a bit, you will have a strong contender in the contest. But it's a little unrefined at this juncture. If you want more specific details, I'll be happy to tell and help; just let me know. I think you are so talented and believe in your ability :) Jared Pickett February 20, 2014 at 3:03 PM I agree. Sometimes however I mean to be "unrefined". I know exactly what rhymes are jagged!! Appreciate you!!Asavvy1
