A Gasping Cycle

living
          a lie from your
                                 dreams

in
     a tomb from someone else's 
                                                 themes

your 
         mournful mind made during sleep
                                                             in

suffocation
                  by failing

Shadowteller,

this is a great piece, really good form. it's not necessarily easy to read but definately worth the effort! and I think I found what you have put there for us but I won't put it in this comment so as not to spoil it for others... excellent line! your Proprietress

Thank you

for complimenting on the form. Yes, I could see how the form isn't easy on the eyes but it's as you've commented on worth the effort.

Shadowteller,

I, too, think I´ve picked up on your circular logic here. It´s a great write, no matter how I read it. I´ve experimented with some forms, too, I often do a "mirror" piece when I´m penning down my first drafts. Sometimes, both sides will be in the final draft, sometimes one will be left out, or I might find that I´ve really been working on two poems... Yours, Ink Dragon
