Never me nevermore
always outside the door
the way is lost
a life is cost
lost all the way to my core.

A shadow busy painting others’ lives
replacing others’ drives
a rat on a wheel
so I don’t have to feel
clawing at bleeding hives

Me, I, heart shattered empty fool
tears streaming forming a caustic pool
working hard so others can’t see
that I no longer wish to be
responsibility my sole remaining rule

the tunnel has no light it just goes on
there is no end in sight I just go on
untouched , untouchable
undesired, undesirable
and yet I continue to go on

I might call it a Truncated Hexaquintalet, but that would probably be wrong. Best ask Angeline or Tzara.

Heeey, I was just going to say the same thing so it can't be wrong. Truncated Hexaquintalet it is, switchbitch!









p.s I agree about asking Angeline or Tzara's opinion.

LOL I kinda think its a limmerick ;) sans humour
The stanza form resembles the limerick, though a limerick has thematic requirements your poem does not (in my opinion) meet. The meter is irregular as well.

I wouldn't agonize over it.

You wrote a poem that basically conforms to a form, though not an established one. At least not one I'm aware of.

Doesn't matter, ultimately, unless you were trying to write a particular form, which you obviously weren't.

Welcome, anyway. Talk to us.
