Notes About The Poem

Wrtten for Silent One's four line poem containing the words Rhapsody Fathomless Eternity Quietus and Story.

The words might lent themselves to a five liner, however life flows over the margins of structure, as does poetry and stories' narration.

When the final curtain falls, the rhapsody has exhausted all emotions.

 

 

The Final Story

The Final Story

A ragged rhapsody ruminates in relentless repetition as the fathomless

fugitive foments fearful fragmentation thus ethereal eternity engulfs

egregious expropriation of quietus’s quiver quaking querulous quickstep’s

quest when stories surreptitiously seep silently seduced by savourless sadness

27th March 2018

Written for all my friends who suffer from depression

Depression is a difficult condition not understood by so many.. An important poem with good use of alliteration, just felt it was a bit short to finish higher.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest...

Cool alliteration, Kai. Conquered my depression thru Christ. But hey, what can't the LORD do. You used the whole bag of downer words in this morose beaut. Mighty fine poetry, my dear friend. Love and peace always.

Thank you so much Freddie. I am beginning to like alliterations. A year ago I did not even know what they were. Surfing the soup has become a great friend of mine. I might be believing in a different Lord, but the Universe is a great master...Many Easter wishes to you and love and peace, Kai

Kai, as I join others who battle depression my only tool that works has been letting go & giving my power to a Higher Being, Jesus, I advocate for myself only, and pray for others, great poem!

Thank you James. I am not religious as such, but the question 'what would Jesus do?' is an important one. And I also believe in a Higher Power - spiritually - I guess. Letting go handing over...And I learnt about such Higher Power, when I stopped drinking. Many wishes to you, Kai

Thank you Susan. Alliterations can be fun. Sometimes I just want to play with the words like a child or so...
