No one can know the pain within
where it can spin,
deep under skin,
and hurt.
As grief
and tears
from many prayers
are filled with fears;
let faith begin, to soon divert.
Author Notes
Our prayers are with Yvonne.
The Novenary Reel
Introducing a new form of poetry to play with here called (The Novenary Reel). A short poem made up of nine lines. The trick is to keep the shape of the bobbin reel using appropriate words. The first four lines describe the problem or subject and the last five lines, the solution or conclusion. Written in iambic meter, 8,4,4,2,2,2,4,4,8. The rhyme scheme is below:
x x x x x x x a
