I just found this thread and I am finding it most interesting because I've been playing with the form myself, lately. There seems to be some dissention about the wisdom of posting our own examples and I'm about half&half leaning to either side. I'd certainly never profess to being a "master" at anything, and yet, how better to get a specific and little used form recognized and discussed as a specific form if not by comparing it to those who ARE masters?
That being said, I am posting it anyhow.
Someday I'll Leave
Forgive me, Love, for words unsaid -
for letters written, never read -
for poems I write and then erase-
for all the walls I keep in place -
for barriers I build in dread.
Some fantasies are best unfed,
some truths are tales that liars spread.
Some day I'll leave without a trace.
Forgive me, Love.
For dragons underneath my bed -
for demons writhing in my head -
for all my strange and misplaced grace,
for every tear that streaks my face -
for all the fears I'll never shed -
Forgive me, Love.
