Ed Belcher Poet Rhyme

The Fall

The darkness of the shadow engulfs the wall,
Now is the time to prepare for the fall.

I've been here before and I'll come here again
When will I learn that I'll never win.

The emptiness builds into a dark void
Time becomes a blur as I am destroyed.

The lies flood my mind and I fall once again,
I play the same game knowing I'll lose in the end.

Cona Adams January 22, 2015 at 8:06 AM You've described how I feel when playing solitaire, Ed. I sincerely hope your subject is not about something more serious. I suppose it could apply to many things. Ed Belcher January 24, 2015 at 10:20 AM Thanks Cona. :-) It was covering different kinds of addictions in general, but can be applied to different topics where one feels they continue to lose but keep coming back for the punishment for some reason.

Debbie Guzzi January 15, 2015 at 4:19 PM Rhyme is[the general category. The type of end rhyme you used makes your verse a couplet [2]. Nice use of half rhyme as well [void/destroyed] . Light & Love Ed Belcher January 15, 2015 at 6:14 PM Thanks Debbie. This is helpful, I am new to the terminology and styles (other than rhyme and freestyle) so it is good to get some feedback from someone as talented as you. :-)
