An empty soul seeded deep
Fear the only semblance
Of the pains I keep
Running rampant
Afraid to live
Love.
Love,
Afraid to live
Rampantly running
The pains I shall keep
Resembling all the fears
My empty soul is seeded deep
With aggravation, desperation, isolation
Author notes
Put to another challenge by a friend, I was asked to write something that is reflective of itself from one stanza to the next. The challenge was specificaaly to shorten the terms and revers for the second part.
I am totally unaware of any technical names that may exist for this type of writing, so for now I am just calling it a simple reflected hourglass.
If there is anyone out there that knows if this form exists and what the heck it's called, I'd appreciate the heads up. I am supposed to write three of these for this week. Let's see if I can pull it off.
Better yet,let's hope, once the post goes through, it actually looks like the hourglass it's supposed to, lol.
