Silver lining (triple tectractys)

by Chelsey   Jun 26, 2012


Life
comes with
two outcomes-
The good and bad
Molding or destroying who we become

Corrosion of emotions and the mind,
prevent us from
seeing the light
in the
dark

Yet,
there is
always a
silver lining
in the profoundness of each circumstance

Triple tectractys syllable count:
1, 2, 3, 4,10
10, 4, 3, 2, 1
1, 2, 3, 4, 10

Silver lining: expression for "look at the bright side of things"

    I really like this form! It has a very nice flow and you done a wonderful job!

    There is always a silver lining in any situation, you just have to look hard enough and it will appear!

    Chelsey, this is awesome.

    I need to do more formed poetry so I can improve on my writing skills. It would be hard to do one of these let alone three in a go!

    I love the meaning behind this poem, what you were trying to convey. I read it a couple of times because the first time I seemed to have concentrated on the formed part of it rather than the actual words. I slowed down to the rythem of the poem, pronouncing each syllable. Then the second time I read it I took in the words and meaning. It has such a positive feel to it!

    I lovvvvved this write.

    Awesome
