The Black Kite

This is a 7/5 Troche, a technique I found on Shadow Poetry.

The Black Kite

11/18/13

The box discarded away 

It was all of it

I want it to be kept at bay

This will be acquit

Onyx gem stones cut just right

I transcend here

I will fly like a black kite

Because I am unfit

Decaying like rotten food

I'm playing this card

Something about this is skewed

Internally scarred

Divide the day in half now

Maybe I will walk

Like the day I took a vow

Gave him key and lock

Author's Note

This is my first time trying this style of poetry.

You nailed it. Beautiful imagery. Economy of words excellently expressed powerful feelings of love and loss. Very good.
