The blue days
The bright daze
How will
You fulfill
A promise made?
Shadows sharp
Cookie-cutter heart
Could still
Bode ill
For the next part
Can’t contemplate
The relocate
Will kill
Summer’s spill
Rather desolate
This poem was for yesterday’s prompt, a poem that is specific to a season and includes a rhetorical question (like Keats’ “where are the songs of spring?”). It also fits OK for today’s prompt: a poem that uses repetition. Not sure if it’s an official form but by repetition, I mean the rhyme structure is AABBA, CCBBC, DDBBD. Hmmm, or maybe it’s just an off-prompt poem after all! 😉

I love it when poets make up new rhyme schemes. This one worked quite well, Claire.
Thanks! 🙂
Love the rhythm and the pun on daze xo
Thanks! X
There’s something really satisfying about “can’t contemplate / the relocate”. The rhythm of it is like unavoidable motion.
