I learned a new form of poetry from my Writer’s Digest magazine. It’s called Catena Rondo, and I just wrote a poem using it. It’s a little rough, but I’m still kind of proud of doing it! See below and try not to judge too hard. 🙂
They say you can never go back A moment lost is gone forever It stands before me and does not stir They say you can never go back A moment lost is gone forever Somehow those moments statues form Before me stood the past to mourn A moment lost is gone forever Somehow those moments statues form So life brings salty tears a river with all my fears Somehow those moments statues form So life brings salty tears I watch but cannot move Still eyes look to disapprove So life brings salty tears I watch but cannot move Lost moments play before me My heart clenched in agony I watch but cannot move Lost moments play before me Loves gone, decisions made hearts broken, lives disarrayed Lost moments play before me Loves gone, decisions made I can't escape though hard I try I can't back away so fall and cry Loves gone, decisions made I can't escape though hard I try To my past I cannot go back so forward go, though courage I lack I can't escape though hard I try To my past I cannot go back Forward momentum brings sun to the tears Drying up that river of fears To my past I cannot go back Forward momentum brings sun to the tears I learned a lesson that lasts a lifetime Facing failures brings back sunshine Forward momentum brings sun to the tears I learned a lesson that lasts a lifetime They say you can never go back So go forward, though courage you lack I learned a lesson that lasts a lifetime They say you can never go back A moment lost is gone forever It stands before me and does not stir They say you cannot never go back
