Closed Form Poetry If there is a definitive conclusion, and the poet decides to use a specific pattern, such as meter or rhyme, the form will take on what is known as closed form...

Moving On

I sit here waiting
For a call that never comes
A fate that's not mine

A slave to her whims
I seek the key to my chains
To release myself

Re: Moving On

*wild applause*

Despair seems to be the theme of your poetry, Jir. No-win situations. I hope your day-to-day is not so difficult.

Still, great work. The last line seems a little disconnected from the verse as a whole. I can interperet its meaning, but it does not flow as well as the rest of it. I can't see a solution, but if I think up a possibility, I'll let you know.

Re: Moving On

thanks guys.

epsi, i hadnt realised that there was this central theme until you mentioned it. i am surprised myself. but nah, my life isn't so bad yet. it can always be better still.

i took a look at that last line. nothing comes to mind for now, but i'll think of something, i am sure. i think it's the word "beyond". it somehow doesnt fit.


[edit]I changed the last line. Thanks for all the comments, RK.

Re: Moving On

Very intriguing. I agree with Epsi, but we all tend to have central themes to our poetry. Though, they are not always what we mean them to be.

Re: Moving On

I was attempting to find the line I loved the most or the line I felt expressed the most feeling. Yet, I am at a loss to find just one. Very well done. This has become a personal favorite.

Well I dunno if you look at this from a completely psychotic point of view, the narrator could be trapped in some woman's basement
