The Lover Not Taken by Blanche Farley rewritten as Terza Rima Poem

Wanting both when committed to one

She stood thinking long
Alone she stood on the road ashen

Wanting to hide and wanting to belong

Smooth as silk the new hunk
His hair made her sing a song

Jack, the other also wanted of her a chunk

The fine clad fellow wanted her from yore
Uplifted she was by him when sunk

Laying by side she wanted the blond more

Flee together somewhere away
She feared leaving Jack forever sore

Alawad 2
Reminiscing about her fidelity one day
In a faraway future time
Made her from Jack astray

Away she went thinking sublime

Took the road by the pond
Came home and phoned the blond meantime

Titanic by David R Slavitt rewritten as Triolet Poem

Titanic wasnt loved by whom?

If tickets be sold who wouldnt go once more

Death comes to all, in old age and in bloom

To go down with friends and family wearing costume

Shocked the world is in gloom

Books and movies to remind our progeny for sure

The cold water quick to take one to vacuum

Crying everywhere, only the first class to shore

Alawad 3
Original Limerick

I recall a beauty called Jane

Who would chew grains in a train
Have no fear I daresay
For its good thing shes away
She caused many a monk to forget they abstain

Original Tanka

Wind in my garden
Blowing over yellow leaves
Turning them over
Slowly falling from the trees
the yellow leaves cover earth

Original Cinquain

My love
Ever so strong
Her thoughts always with me
Urging me to go on ahead
And wait

Alawad 4
Original Villanelle

I look at the gray sky

The clouds are full of rain
Tears fall from my eye

I remember you with a sigh

Indifference Im trying to feign
I look at the gray sky

Your absence has left my heart dry

All I feel is pain
Tears fall from my eye

All pleasures to myself I deny

Hardly am I left sane
I look at the gray sky

You didnt even say goodbye

All those promises in vain
Tears fall from my eye

Alawad 5
All alone, I have no ally
There is no one else to blame
I look at the gray sky
Tears fall from my eye
