Re: Form of the week: Lyrette

Cautious


fam’ly
far away
wand’ring the world
I am left behind
not brave enough
as to leave
my home




~ ~ ~
7 lines
Poet’s Place Café prompt: Lyrette form ( 7 lines / unrhymed / syllable count per line 2-3-4-5-4-3-2 / each line should end with strong word )

(12.22.22)


(Note: This poem was inspired by personal experience. My brother and sister and their families, life-long native Texans, just packed up and moved themselves to Portugal. Here I am, deeply rooted in our state and holding down the fort. It's a lonely feeling.)
