Out of Place

Listen to poem:
Another day in a world where I'm out of place To always stay where the years turn I'm out of place To see confusion form from clay in trembling hands And find turmoil is on display I'm out of place The beds I've slept that turned to gray as time has died In vagrant rooms that went astray I'm out of place Cast astray in worn out shoes from a foreign soul Where each path walked may lead to death I'm out of place To see a world now bend away years beyond me To my dismay of simpler times I'm out of place Maybe the next roadway will lead me home in peace From yesterdays of disarray I'm out of place 2/3/17 contest Form G

Mr. Parker, your poem is great, I am just copying an explanation of Ghazal, your refrain is "I'm out of place". ( The rhyming in Ghazal ends like aA bA cA dA eA etc. If you choose to add refrain to your poem, the refrain comes after the rhyming in each couplet. In Ghazal, the first couplet must have the rhyming and the refrain in both halves of the couplet in subsequent couplets, only the second half of the couplet will follow the same scheme of rhyming).
