Nice Guys Finish Last - (Paradelle)

by Gem   Apr 12, 2007


Nice guys finish last
Nice guys finish last
They get pushed aside
They get pushed aside
Nice guys gets pushed aside
They finish last

Their hearts are broken
Their hearts are broken
Cruel beautiful girls
Cruel beautiful girls
Their beautiful hearts
Broken by cruel girls

But if they hold on
But if they hold on
Love will prevail
Love will prevail
But if they prevail
Love will hold on

Nice guys are broken
Their hearts pushed aside
But if they prevail
Love will hold on
And cruel beautiful girls
They finish last

(My other two paradelles, "Kissing In Twilight" and "Glitter Covered Diamonds" are a lot better than this, this was one of my first attempts at one..)

Paradelle - This is more of a word puzzle than any other poem and is a difficult format to master.
It is a repetition of lines with each stanza ending in two lines which use all the words in the previous lines.
Also the very last stanza uses ALL the words from all previous stanzas. Don't add any new ones and don't miss any out"

    This was great Gem... And you are right, if they just hold on, nice guys will find a nice loving girl, and cruel girls will finish last, and probably alone!!
