Who is my archangel? (Terza Rima)

by Ş∂ņďħy∂   Jul 27, 2004


Mom told me about the guardian angels
When God is busy, they will take care of us
But why I never saw my own archangel?

I prayed a lot to god to show my seraph
May be, God had received other vital pleas
Or my little prayer wasn’t strong enough!

Days passed by and my prayers began to seize
Slowly dark tints of solitude chased my heart
My wonderful childhood started to get squeezed

Youth’s dreary journey kept crushing life apart
Even in dark days, God gave me you, my angel
For my smiles, you stayed when others did depart

I didn’t know God blessed me with many archangels
Oh my friends! now I know, you were those angels

******************************************
Terza Rima is a poetic rhyme scheme, which involve interlocking rhymes, written in iambic tercets. The rhyme scheme is ABA BCB CDC DED (and so forth) for as long as the poet wishes to continue (as a sonnet, ending in a couplet). Although no specific line length is required, most terza rima poems in English are written in iambic pentameter. If other line lengths are used, such as tetrameter, all lines must be in that
