I loved that it lulled me into a certain pace, and then continually surprised me by changing the rhythm.

I can see some lines that rhyme, but I don’t know anything about poem construction. I’m just curious, does this follow a particular form? You know, like sonnets, limericks etc.

It’s a mathematical mashup of syllable counts in certain areas— ( first two paragraphs or stanzas are each 5 syllables, and the fourth and fifth stanzas are 6 syllables) but that was an afterthought— I wrote it just by listening to the rhythm of what I was trying to write, not by imposing a structure.

Thanks for the praise :) I appreciate it very much, Jonathan.

and let’s hope she pulls you out of the darkness. :) nice imagery.

She’s a constant light, no matter how dark, or who/what else leaves you.

Happy thought.
