Stressed

I should be depressed my relationship is in turmoil i am finding it harder and harder to rest Is this a test? Immensely sifting through an inferno of emotions I believe that we have reached our crest Distressed, I confess to my shortcomings and i get protest I cannot cope with this heartache any longer I am stressed, in search of a new conquest It is hard to digest losing time invested Although that is her request My anger has regressed, I concede to losing I guess!!

Just That Archaic Poet

This is truly stellar. The only problems I have is with the syllable vying. In the first stanza, you have a 5 syllable verse vying with an 11 syllable verse which throws off the rhythm for me. The second line isn't terribly strong; it's the only weak line, I think. I would tweak the first stanza some because the rest of the poem flows nicely. I love it because I totally related to and identified with your sentiments and enjoyed the way you wrote it. Again, kudos; well done! :)

Okies this IS rhyme, now having said that it has a universal appeal in content! Good! It helped you to write it & others to read it. I would like to know [though] why you think it's free verse to clear up that for you. Light & Love

The time one invests in past relationships or relationships which are passing through a rough patch..arent time lost..From each experience We take something positive to use in future comittements with others.Sad and touching the core dear friend.
