Disposable

A Kyrielle

I once did love with all my love,
A love I was unworthy of;
That much was proven on the day
I was easy to throw away.

She chose to have another life
And live as someone else’s wife;
But though she says it’s best this way,
I was easy to throw away.

Our love found its ironic end--
She says I should remain a friend;
Yet, all her actions seem to say
I was easy to throw away.

Now I am routinely taunted;
Her new life is daily flaunted.
This is the point of that display:
I was easy to throw away...

Awwww this poem makes me so sad. So many people can relate to it to and its just teeming with gaalon upon gallon of emotion. Its wonderful really it is and it defenately suceeds in making the reader feel. The rythme is also very good. Its not perfect of course the flow could be better but those things come with time,

when you work within the parameters of a specific form, you are limited by it. the challenge is to make it sound like real speech as you work within a fixed format. But thanks for your input.

I am aware I have written a sestina and several haikus among others....
