Notes About The Poem

I CHALLENGED MYSELF TO WRITE A POEM USING  2 SYLLABLES IN EACH LINE -  SORRY BUT THE RESULTING POEM IS DARK AND DEEP

Poisoned Words

You plunged your knife so deep into my heart Piercing cutting stabbing Those words hurt me so so deeply I am bleeding hurting crying There is no way you are ever coming back to hurt me again 12~06~16

Hey Jan, this 2 sylable business is great to illustrate pain or torment. Its a hook and a barb. Like a boxer with a jab and a uppercut. I am going to steal it from you ha ha. Deep poem and it hurts me too

Thanks Jannie I woke up with the idea of writing a flowing poem with just 2 syllables and this was the result:-) hugs Jan xx

Sad but well written - I am surprised to see you writing about something of this nature - shows your abilities are far reaching - well done Jan Mark

I never know what will flow from my pen Mark:-) I woke up with the idea of challenging myself to write 2 syllables a line to make up a story and it turned out dark and deep. I may try a more upbeat poem:-) hugs jan xx

:-) thanks David:-) I don't know if I've created a new form:-) I could only find footles with 2 syllables - this is just an idea I had when I woke up... the poem is dark and sad but I'm delighted I've had so much positive feedback:-) hugs jan xx

I like this stuff; beautifully reductive.

It's a little different to my usual style I wanted to challenge myself to write a poem using just 2 syllables in each line but not a footle:-) I've put up a contest using this form i hope you give it a try Doug :-) hugs jan xx

Really cleverly done Jan. As for the subject a person can only take being hurt deeply so much and then if they are wise they close the door on that person forever. A very good piece. A seven from me. God Bless, JB

Thanks Deb I couldn't find a proper name for this form so I thought 'duplex' was quite apt. I look forward to reading your poem - just have fun:-) hugs Jan xx

This was such a cool poem and a brilliant outcome to your personal poetic challenge. Maybe dark but direct and to the point two syllables at a time. Nicely done Jan
