Respite
A Nonet Breakup Poem
By Cindy CalderPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read
I decided to abscond this night
It's past time to even the score.
So long to your ways of spite
Not sure what's now in store -
Hoping for respite
Down to my core.
Starry night
Shines now
Bright.

Hi Cc - Such lovely rhyming-rhythm ~ Thank you so much for your kind words left for me on the VSS site: I'm back with a Short in 'Humor'...but, I leave the Poems to you; you're a Master at it...! j.k.in.l.a.
I like the optimistic ending of this, leading to that end "Bright". From darkness to light. And a rhyme, as L.C. says, that's tricky.
I love the rhyming, that's hard to make work I found. Well done ☺
Another beautiful One!
Excellent piece
Oooo, that ending was so beautiful! Loved your Nonet!
