Maybe
Maybe I can find my way home to you.
Maybe I can find my way home to you.
See your eyes the first time, heart skip a beat.
See your eyes the first time, heart skip a beat.
My heart, maybe, can see your home. Find a
first beat. Eyes skip time. I to you, the way.
I keep losing my footing on this path.
I keep losing my footing on this path.
The journey has been hard walking alone.
The journey has been hard walking alone.
Alone, losing this journey, my path. I
keep the walking on. Footing has been hard.
Searching for a stopping point or marker.
Searching for a stopping point or marker.
A chance to turn around, to wait for you.
A chance to turn around, to wait for you.
For a marker, stopping around chance, you
turn to searching or to wait for a point.
A chance for my heart to keep time stopping
this journey around your eyes. You skip for
home, or searching, losing the way. Find the
marker. I can see a point to a hard
beat. First, I wait! Alone, walking on my
path, footing has been turn to you, maybe.
Poetic Form #91: Paradelle
The paradelle form was created by Billy Collins as a parody to strict forms of
poetry. Still a fun challenge. Here are the rules:
The paradelle is a 4-stanza poem with 6 lines in each stanza.
In the first 3 stanzas, the 1st and 2nd lines are the same; the
3rd and 4th lines are also the same. The 5th and 6th lines are
composed using all of the words from the 1st and 3rd lines and
only the words from the 1st and 3rd lines.
The final stanza is composed with all the words in the 5th and
6th lines of the first three stanzas.
