I feel the immensity breathing
splashing through the expectations
finding my salvation in you
in our connected emotions.
Somewhere in this fog is doubting,
splashing through the expectations
loneliness screaming from your eyes.
Invisible tears calling out
somewhere in this fog is doubting
this reef is empty without you.
I will search for eternity
invisible tears calling out
to my destiny, my lobster.
Am swimming through the deep ocean
I will search for eternity
for you, as you are my someone.
I feel the immensity breathing
Am swimming through the deep ocean
I feel the immensity breathing.
Day 16 Challenge:
Today, I challenge you to write in the form known as the terzanelle. A hybrid of the villanelle and terza rima, terzanelles consist of five three-line stanzas and a concluding quatrain. Lines and rhymes are chained throughout the poem, so that the middle line of each triplet is repeated as the last line of the following triplet (or, for the last triplet, in the concluding quatrain). The pattern goes like this:
ABA
bCB
cDC
dED
eFE
fAFA or fFAA.
You can use any meter or line length, though you may want to try to have all of your lines in the same meter! (And you can always fall back on that old favorite, iambic pentameter).
