Notes About The Poem

My very first attempt at a Pentoum, thanks to Eve Roper. 
The theme was difficult but have made a humble attempt!

Take Heart My Friend

Pain of defeat that lingers deep inside,
Those past chances lost cannot be regained,
dreams rerun every moment of that ride,
grieve not friend, you are a hero well trained!

Those past chances lost cannot be regained,
Many new contests in future await,
Grieve not friend you are a hero well trained!
try again Bolt, win is never too late!

Many new contests in future await,
I have seen you gallop like the storm wind,
try again Bolt, win is never too late!
For those who try, dismal fate will rescind.

I have seen you gallop like the storm wind,
All our farm friends hold you in high esteem,
For those who try dismal fate will rescind.
Believe in your self and just go full steam!

All our farm friends hold you in high esteem,
Build positive thoughts to silence sad dreams,
Believe in your self and just go full steam!
With next win, wash away in joyous streams.

Build positive thoughts to silence sad dreams,
dreams rerun every moment of that ride,
With next win, wash away in joyous streams,
Pain of defeat that lingers deep inside.
