Revolving

The Prose Diamond is a form created by a friend of mine...while it is similar to other forms, it has a life of it's own when properly done. Would like to see others try this form...the creator of the form will have a book out soon and might actually use h

 

life

begins

with a cry

and smacked bottom

learn to talk and walk

time to play and make friends

thought process is developed

the games evolving as we do

friendships become more enlightened things

as we meander our way through the mix

common bonds unite ~ two become one

wonder follows delight ~ union

begets more…circle remains

unbroken even as

the clock ticks away

rudely pushing

our bodies

towards

death

I like the structure ,, i know nothing of writing like this ... or in any structure.. it looks good in print ..
I love the poem itself .. meandering is a word i have not used in a poem .. love the word .
Your poem is so full of truth.. seems it is how life is .. Very Nice.

The structure is unique. I have seen it done with trees as well. I never knew how they did it. LOL Much wisdom lies within the structure as well. Well done.

i like this form too Mike. I've used something like it myself a few times with the Nonet you taught me is easily transfomed to this.

Thanks Chloe, this form was created by a friend from Yahoo. I didn't write much in form either, until recently. I have found that I like certain ones and now can write my style from within another form...very refreshing.
