"Poetry: The Road Of Life" by letum



I slowly tread this road of life
I slowly tread this road of life
With no one to walk beside me
With no one to walk beside me
I, One, slowly walk of this road
With no life to tread beside me

Then upon the road comes a bump
Then upon the road comes a bump
That causes change in my life
That causes change in my life
That causes upon my life a bump
Then comes change in the road

The road takes a sudden turn
The road takes a sudden turn
A turn that leads straight to the town of depression
A turn that leads straight to the town of depression
Leads straight to a depression
A sudden turn of the road that takes the town

This town I shall never leave, a thousand days spent
This town I shall never leave, a thousand days spent
In here until my dying days, I will be forever, all are
In here until my dying days, I will be forever, all are
In this town I shall my dying days until all are spent
A thousand days to never leave, will I forever be here


I slowly walk upon this road
With no one to tread beside me
Then the road of life I shall never leave
All change causes a bump in my life
The road takes a sudden turn straight to that town
That leads here, this town, are a thousands days spent
Until my dying days I will forever be in the town of depression


Paradelle.

The paradelle is one of the more demanding French fixed forms, first appearing in the langue d'oc love poetry of the 11th century. It is a poem of 4 6-line stanzas in which the 1st and 2nd as well as the 3rd and 4th lines of the first 3 stanzas must be identical. The 5th and 6th lines must use all the words from the preceding lines and only those words. The final stanza must use every word from all the preceding stanzas and only those words.
~~ Copied from Dark Stalker and the Moon Goddess by tab ~~



 

"We all want to be the best we can be, but how many of us can say we are truly objective?
You have read this poem, now let the poet know how you feel, and comment truly.

As nice as it is to read "great poem"
it does not make us better and does not give us an indication of what made it great.
Not all of us are literature students, remember to comment on things like style, subject and form.

So leave a comment, and help others in this community"

nice to see the paradelle form being used. not sure of the flow here though 'i.one,'. plus using the same words in the different stanzas isn't helping as there is already a lot of repetition in this form to begin with, it would be wiser to use different words.

it's a good attempt at the form though, they are certainly not easy to do. think on using varying words though so as not to overdo the repetiton.

Paradelle's certainly aren't my favourite form of poetry. I find them far too restricting in what I wish to write, I much prefer either blank verse or haiku's. I always suck at writing to form though.

Wow! Great job. Since I can't write anything worthwhile that's serious I can only imagine what my final stanza would sound like.
A nut on the rut of the butt, with an itch of my stitch, you bitch.

Ah, not quite poetry from me. As you can see, mine would be quite intolerable.
