Everything I Knew (Terzanelle)

by Gem   Dec 18, 2006


(My first attempt at this... =/ Be nice x)

My heart is broken
Because of words spoken
My heart is broken
The tears have woken
They're here to stay
Because of words spoken
They won't go away
I'm caught in this curse
They're here to stay
A heartbroken verse
Pours from my soul
I'm caught in this curse
I'm no longer whole
Everything I knew
Pours from my soul
I thought it was true
Everything I knew
My heart is broken
My heart is broken ©

(The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the Terza Rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is a repetend reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the centre line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.)
