Then Again

Then Again


Look
again.
You said I’m fine.
I made you mine.

Turn
again.
I like this view.
I’ll marry you.

Lost
again.
I told a lie
and watched love die.

Try
again.
A heart forgives
so love can live.

Hope
anew.
Another chance,
no backward glance.

Then
again…

Love the way you finish with then again - it creates a different perspective to what the poem seemed to be leading to. Lovely.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thank you mooneyblack - I'm practicing not tying things up so neatly.

[Johntee]

Nicely rounded.
Trust unfounded,
then again entrusted,
found misfounded.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thanks Johntee, that sums it up nicely.

[Parkinsonspoet]

The simplicity icreases the potency of this very nice structure

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thank you Parkinsonspoet! I don't believe I've ever tried anything like this before. Glad it worked!

I can share my thoughts.

Doubt, does it ever go away? One hurt, one pain, one deception; eternal fear and wondering minimized by time and sucess. Always there

[RhymeLovingWriter]

In some ways, for some people, it never does. Mostly I just had that phrase stuck in my head and wanted to write it into a poem. I'm glad it carried an idea with it!

[AlexandratheLate]

This is perfectly stated Paula. Truly wonderful.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

This is a beautiful comment Alexandra. Thank you so much for the look, like, and taking time to leave a note.

The good, the bad, the doubt. Nice form, RLW! It worked well for this poem.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thanks Muttado1sb - it all got rolled up in one. I'm usually a little apprehensive of any type of repetitive verse - how much is enough to make a point and how much is too much? I'm glad it worked for this one.
