Letting Go

My soul is fraught with misery
blinking lights
city sights

I long to wander far and free
starlit sky
contented sigh

To stand upon the salty sand
tide that flows
moon aglow

And contemplate the worth of man
humble prayer,
heaven's stair

Fettered here I yearn to fly
soar away
leave today

I ponder all the reasons why
persevere
sad career

Perched upon the brink of change
letting go
new plateaus

    Wow you have created a really cool form. I very much enjoyed your poem. I agree with the others. You should definately run a contest to promote this wonderful new form.

    I agree that you should promote this form! I love it! Just needs a little tightening syllable count wise. I love the longer line followed by 2 shorter lines...perhaps having the first line of each stanza having 8 syllables, and the following 2 lines having 3 syllables (as you do)? It's up to you though. I love this whatever. Thank you for sharing this form with me! I shall most definately be trying it! Thank you, aslo, for entering my contest!

    Best Wishes,

    Dari xxx
