my attempt at poetry after a 2 year hiatus... go easy


the heart yearns

thinking its goal attainable

the heart burns

its desire ever there

the heart churns

its aim nearly viable

the heart turns

from painful rejections stare

hmm, true words. Nice use of incremental repetition! I think you should write poetry more often.

hahahahaha, sorry, as an excuse I did just get out of english class right before I read it! :o)
It's when there's repetition (heart) but it changes slightly to move the poem along (heart yearns, heart churns, heart burns)
:o)
And I'll be calling you for help on my "bloodless revolution" paper! ; )
