I am a long forgotten soul

I am a long forgotten soul

A Poem by Devanshu Rajput
"

A poem written by me, for CHAUCERIAN RONDEL ~ Blue Rose Cafe Challenge!. Please read the note by me,after reading this.

"

 




I am a very long forgotten soul,

I have nothing of which I can take pride,        

I am dwindling with my every stride.

 

I am having no path to stroll,

Every time I try to try, I am thrown aside,            

I am a long forgotten soul.


In my life there is nothing like a goal, 

There is not even He with me as my Guide.          

There is no one to whom I can abide.

I am a long forgotten soul.

Devanshu: I liked your poem very much and would like to say Congratulations on a job well done. It is so very somber and deep, but the tone is straightforward, as if to say I am what I am. It's interesting, and the character of the long forgotten soul seems somewhat nonemotional as if to say; no one cares; I am lost, why should I care; there is no hope at all, no matter how hard I try. Thank you so very much. Great work. Dale

This is the first time I've heard of a CHAUCERIAN RONDEL. Sounds cool. And this poem is really good, smooth and simple.

Dear Devanshu,

Welcome to the Challenge! I can see that you are a very keen writer!

This Chaucerian Rondel is SPOT ON! Just a couple of small alterations, then you have achieved your aim!

Stroll instead of troll ~ 4th line

In my life I have no goal ~ 7th line

Well done poet! Good luck in the challenge!!

Kind regards,

Helena

who is this 'he' fellow anyway?

hmmmm this poem sounds to me like someone who beleives they are owed something for living, i on the other hand believe that we exist at all is the most miraculous thing and nothing to be thrown away in self pity

I know - maybe sounds harsh but for me knowing my only purpose in life is to love, exist and create is more than enough to share XX

This reminds me of all the moments when I felt like I was just wandering aimlessly through life, until I finally found my inspiration and purpose. Very powerful theme that you have here, with some great lines to convey it.

If I may, I would like to suggest one teeny tiny thing. Try not to sacrifice the grammar for the sake of the rhyme scheme or the meter. All three should work together harmoniously to convey your ideas.

Thank you for reminding me to be grateful, simply for the fact that I know my purpose in life.
