Poetry form SEVEN-TEN invented by Canadian poet Emile Pinet.
Up and down my mind today Waited for a word or call Holding my breath as each hour slipped on by Seemed twice as long as an eternity Every scenario ran through my mind Though I tried not to worry Up and down my mind today A dull sun rose ever so nonchalant Making its way slowly through heavy clouds Was simply no peace to be found above My somber heart too heavy Up and down my mind today Deep and dark shadows echoed of silence The air eerily still that nothing moved The sun drawing its arch across the sky As breathless I watched and prayed Up and down my mind today A dull moon rising in a starless sky Casting a dim light on its emptiness Not a sound stirring in the heart of night My soul rumbling with tremors Up and down my mind all day AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted on September 5, 2018 for contest A NEW POEM SEVEN-TEN FORM sponsored by EMILE PINET - RANKED 4TH
