For this week’s challenge, the word TIP must be one of the D line words. Then the other D line(s) word(s) must rhyme with TIP. I have also used the prompt words from Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge Morrow and Surge.
Welcome to the Décima Poetry Challenge. Each week we’ll be attempting a Décima, also known as an Espinela, poem.
If you don’t know how to write a Décima, click HERE to go to a post on How to Write an Espinela or Décima Poem.
This is part of Ronovanwrite’s Décima Challenge

We only get once chance at life
Sadly time is not infinite
This is true though it might sound trite
Why face the morrow filled with strife.
The pens of fate our lives rewrite.
In the morn all our fears will serge
Our hopes and dreams begin to merge.
Over the edge our feelings tip
As into the abyss we slip.
We all dance to Lucifer’s dirge.

I don’t want to dance to Lucifer’s dirge, even though it’s extremely well written. 🙂
Sep 03, 2020 @ 22:55:37
No me either, I am glad you liked it though 💜
Sep 03, 2020 @ 23:21:29
I did. I felt that dirge very strongly. It had a scary feel, as any dance with the devil should. 🙂
Sep 04, 2020 @ 00:03:34
Yes indeed 💜
