Life through her eyes (Quatern)

by Dark Secrets   Nov 9, 2012


With loving eyes she said to me,
how life with all its ails should be
How winds blow in wrong directions,
spite of all your right intentions

It's only fair yourself to be,
with loving eyes she said to me
Leave all the pains of past behind
Live each day of present inclined

Importance strives to find its place,
and settle down among its trace,
with loving eyes she said to me,
The slightest wave shall rock the sea

All in all you can never tell
how things end nor how they befell,
but life has its surprises, see
with loving eyes she said to me

    Zahra.... its been long that I have read your poem, but I feel very elated to have read this one. This is so beautifully described and the message of Life, of the experiences to gain is expressed excellently. I loved the form you attempted.

    Keep writing:)

    First, I note this Quatern is correct as to form: the progressing refrain and 8 syllables per line. You have chosen to rhyme and have used iambic pentameter for a good part of the poem. Both choices are in your discretion. However, when the reader gets used to iambic & it abruptly breaks off, as in line 3, the interruption is jarring. Line 8 seems forced & confusing; not sure what the message is here. The words trace and befell seem to be used because they force the rhymes.
    I think if you work on these issues it will be first class, as the message of the poem is excellently told.
