Andrea Dietrich Poet Kyrielle

The Journey of a Fool

A man sits anxiously aboard his flight.
It was just months ago in full moon’s light
his wife and kids he started to betray.
The journey of a fool begins today.

That night in full moon’s bloom, he met the face
that launched his thousand ships. His fall from grace
had barely started when she went away.
The journey of a fool begins today.

So brief their fling! So little that he knew
about his lover. Yet his passion grew
till lunacy infection in him lay.
The journey of a fool begins today.

Not having knowledge of her married state,
he flies to her. Their lives he’ll devastate!
Good sense and sanity have gone astray.
The journey of a fool begins today.

Robin Davis February 13, 2014 at 3:00 PM Andrea Cheating always leads to trouble and someone getting hurt. This was a creative way of explaining it. Nice job Thanks for the awesome comment on my Meanness Can't Inhabit You poem

Holly Moore December 10, 2012 at 11:38 AM I really like this..I had to see a real example of a kyrielle! I read the last line has to be 8 syllables, but then I also read that all lines have to be the same lenght which yours are. It's really good. I'm glad you brought it to my attention! Hugs, Holly

Robert Johnson October 30, 2011 at 2:54 PM Temptation rules the careless fools. With empty hearted lust. Who can't resist a tainted trist. And turn thier lives to dust.

Zzzzz Zzzzz October 28, 2011 at 12:49 PM This kind of thing happens, of course. When things get out of hand, inflamed passion has no conscience. Excellent write, Andrea. Reads like a potential winner to me! xoxo Robert.

Daver Austin October 28, 2011 at 8:59 AM Super write, Andrea! You are so talented. No, I didn't know about the way to see all my poetry. Thanks. You see my layout for Clouds and Festivals - whoever has changed my layout for PFT, and it is in block. I hate to be bitchy, but I don't want my poem to read like a newspaper. I formed my layout for a particular reason. I'm about to leave PFT because I don't appreciate someone taking liberties with my stuff. Love, daver
