Timmy's Journal - 23. Poetry Prompt 6 - Elegy
Okay, this is an Elegy, for Poetry Prompt 6. There are four stanzas, the rhyme pattern is a-b-b-a, and there are 8 syllables per line.
This is likely the 17th reworking of this poem. There needs to be flow within the stanza, it cannot simply be separate lines, they need to relate to each other. It is not an easy form and I'd write and leave it and look at it again and change it. I tried to make it and the rhymes feel natural.
This Prompt was about 'Rememberance'. I hope this poems works.
A Life Together
Those vows we said so long ago;
when our one song was still unsung.
Our bond is strong, never undone;
we - was all I wanted, you know.
I watch as you sleep – so peaceful,
still young, while in gentle repose.
With each breath you take, my love grows;
my heart full, loving and wistful.
We vowed to tell only the truth,
and knew lies would cost over time.
Our life was a mountain to climb,
more so as we left behind youth.
Memories we share with our friends,
as we celebrate our union.
We've left no feelings unspoken;
a love we share until time ends.
And to all of you brave souls who choose to read them!
