Evaporated Time. [Decuain]

by Courageous Dreamer   Sep 1, 2010


Stumbling over evaporated time;
causes functions to become defective.
Complexity destroys life once sublime-
hazing the path of the right perspective,
leading to failure of one's objectives.
Insomniac mind ambles, yet despaired;
logic now dull, no longer effective-
exhaustion leaves decisions impaired.
Despite struggles of fleeing this abmine,
hope sparks ambition, I will reach my prime.

Abmine - french for an unfathomable depth; an abyss or chasm.

The Decuain created by Shelley A. Cephas, is a short poem made up
of 10 lines, which can be written on any subject. There are 10 syllables per line and the poem is
written in iambic pentameter.

    You have done a great job with the form. I have never tried this form and thus I don't know how hard it is but you seem to have written it up quit nicely. A good flow and word choice was also evident. Good job and keep writing.

    I was wondering what title you were going to come up with in this wonderful verse. It is very fitting to the content of the poem I feel. As usual, your vocab is quite outstanding and you have done a remarkable job with this form. Very well done indeed!
