I alone

sorenbarrett

Only                             I have survived

Lonely                          an orphan in this world

Cast                              out, I am Esau

Last                              of the prodigal sons

Noah                            that survived the flood

Jonah                           from the belly of the whale

Protected                     Daniel in the lion's den

Resurrected                 Lazarus returned

Abel                             killed by his brother

Table                           set for me Elija

Fed                              by the ravens

Dead                           No, I shall return

    A profound weaving Soren. Truly moved by this and on a Sunday as well!

      Thank you crypticbard. I am always experimenting. Why not rhyme the first word? Well the emphasis is never on the first word, so it goes unnoticed, therefore the separation in the lines. Just another random thought. I appreciate the kind words. Although, not particularly religious, I thought Sunday might be a good time for a biblical reference in this highly Christian world.

        Not as highly as we may observe, but enough to be noticed. Love the idea of rhyming the first word. Top notch experiment there Soren!

        You've created something very unique with this rhyming pattern, and it should have a name. I read it aloud, placing emphasis on the first word of each line, and the result was quite intriguing. Will there be more? Hope so.

          Dear Bella I was just fiddling around and I'm sure there is such a pattern but I don't know the name. It soon became evident to me why it is not very popular since the emphasis is seldom placed on the first word and the rhyme goes unnoticed. Therefore, I placed a large gap between the first word and the rest of the line to facilitate this emphasis. I do have one more that I will post in the next couple of days. Thank you for your review and for noticing this. Please write some more poems in that I think I have reviewed all of yours and so enjoy them.

            My dear friend I so enjoy your verse in what ever form you choose to write, and I always look for your posts. I find that the older I get, the longer it takes to pull something out of my head and write it. However, you have inspired me, and I thank you for that.
