Rhyme Dark, A bold look inward..
( On the inner ponderings of the human soul
and life's many paths taken )
Note One:
I would like to thank my friend, Lawrence Sharp
and his poem titled, "Of Myth And More Or Less"
for its seeding my brief ryhming comment made
to and about that fine poem. To which the idea
and continued inspiration later gave birth to
this new creation and my great pleasure in setting
the composing task to meet a hard criteria while
staying as much possible within the concept that
his poem revealed to me...
Note Two:
This poem was composed with these set restrictions
Three stanzas, each stanza eight verses, each
stanza exactly 60 words, each a total of 80 syllables.
Each stanza to be able to be a stand alone dark poem,
were that a choice made. In this case it was not.
This goal, this puzzle was met and a true joy it was
to complete the task.
