Life
Half full glass tumbled, emptied covering all light
Shadows blending into darkness till all gone
Defeats smell, putrid stench covering fight
Bleak is a world that has lost hope
Where good has succombed to evil
Closing eyes and mind to cope
Heart beating retrieval
Hope gasping for breath
Light covers dark
Evils death
Good marks
Life
Shadows blending into darkness till all gone
Defeats smell, putrid stench covering fight
Bleak is a world that has lost hope
Where good has succombed to evil
Closing eyes and mind to cope
Heart beating retrieval
Hope gasping for breath
Light covers dark
Evils death
Good marks
Life

with you around HGL...impossible.....Kathy......
I find your poem deep and intriguing -
A philosophical assessment of life as
light vs darkness
good vs evil
hope vs bleakness
where
Good marks Life; Evil marks Death
Thanks for its message!
I am also intrigued by the form.
I am familiar to the NONET which has nine lines.
Your poem has a similar structure except it has twelve lines.
It must require a special skill to write it.
Does it have a name? (I know twelve in Latin is DUODECIM)
Thanks for your response!
