Art of Life

Just another poem, doo-de-doo.

"Art of Life"

These same words have been written by many men
Caught in the zephyr of metamorphosis;
Yet somehow I know I will never again
Go back to being the same blank canvas.

I have come to life in brilliant color;
Love is the fuel that flows spiritually through my veins.
I have penned this adventure, I am the author,
And I have written that I will break the chains.

Breathe into me and I will breathe into you
The zest I have been so very blessed to find;
For the world is alive in shades and hues,
And by its masterful strokes we are outlined.

I feel as if I am soaring, like a dove;
Alive with the transformative power of love.
Yet another masterpiece, Roan. Smile

I see an idea of breaking free of an old self and becoming a new person, a person who can love and be loved in return (hence the metamorphosis).

The rhyme scheme is simply A B A B, yes?

Great job. It's short, but very meaningful and complex.
That's more or less the gist of it, yup. This has been a very good, productive and transformative year for me, in many different ways. I was reflecting on that today and I felt inspired, so this is what became of it.

Yeah, it's a typical ABAB scheme. It's not quite a sonnet, I had to break form a few times for the sake of keeping things clear, but it's more or less a sonnet.

EDIT: Also, masterpiece? Pfft, hardly, lol.
So, I know we're totally not supposed to do this, but...

*shameless self bump*
Hrm, the first few lines in stanza 2 didn't really flow right. I think the tempo was off...

Stanza 3 is my favorite. It really expresses itself, and the word choice was flawless. So I guess just fix #2, but great poem otherwise.

1 more thing: what format was this?
Stanza 2 probably doesn't "sound" right because I had to stretch the syllables a bit to get what I wanted to say across in the second line.

It's closest to being a sonnet, but I didn't keep with all of the "rules", so I guess it's a quasi-sonnet.
