Dan Kearley Poet Rhyme

Roaming These Lands-Collab

Roaming these lands often I cry these tears,
Trying to wash away the pain,along with all my fears.
Preparing myself for the worst 
With a feeling my heart may burst. 
Forcing my heart into remorse
With hopes it will stay on course. 
Always waking to a bright new day 
Where the pain will be kept at bay. 
As the winds stretch through my soul 
My heart sets on a new goal. 
I look at myself in the mirror
As death rolls closer and nearer. 
I traveled through the angry lands 
While angels call out hopeful demands. 
Looking up into the sky
Closing my eyes as I hear the doves cry. 
Gliding onto each stepping-stone
As fate grows carelessly more prone.
In these lands I still roam
No matter how much desire is shown. 




A Collab With:Cali Mitchell &
Dan Kearley

Debbie Guzzi April 16, 2012 at 6:39 PM Ok Dan monorhyme means ALL the last words rhyme, these don't. You end rhymed lines 1 & 2 [that's called a couplet] The next lines [3 &4] do not have end rhyme, since [burst does not rhyme with course] BUT they do have INTERNAL HALF RHYME of [worst/burst] [remorse & course] hmm I would label this simple Rhyme or Verse Dan Kearley April 17, 2012 at 3:13 PM Thank you! :o)

Carolyn Devonshire February 29, 2012 at 2:32 PM I guess many of us have had the sadness and remorse you describe, Dan. Death comes in its own time and we have n control over it. Facing a terminal illness now, this poem really struck a chord for me, Dan. You and Cali have quite a wonderful way of working together. The poem is seamless and flows beautifully. Congrats to both of you on a job well done!
