This Month Kat Myrmanhas suggested a new theme for the daily poem—the Terza Rima, writing one stanza each day. A terza rima consists ofstanzasof three lines (ortercets) usually in iambic pentameter. It follows an interlocking rhyming scheme, or chain rhyme. This is where the middle of each stanza rhymes with the first and last line of the following stanza. There is no set length to this form, as long as it follows

Today is the last day of the five day Music that means something challenge. Today I am going back to 1970, the year before I got married. The song is El Condor Pasa. It is sung by Simon and Garfunkel, it can be found on their semminal album Bridge over troubled water. Paul Simon wrote the English lyrics. The lyrics are just beautiful and always take me back to my 16th/17th year on this planet when I though everything Simon and Garfunkel wrote was key.
This song always reminds me however much I might wish for something better, things are what they are and I must make the most and best of what I have.
El Condor Pasa (If I Could)”
I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail Yes, I would If I could I surely would
I’d rather be a hammer than a nail Yes, I would If I only could I surely would
Away, I’d rather sail away Like a swan that’s here and gone A man gets tied up to the ground He gives the world its saddest sound It’s saddest sound
The lovely and talented Ritu of butIsmileanyway.com has set us all off on Loveuary. I for one am excited with the task. What is love? We shall find out as the month goes on.
Here we are on Day 5, what shall I blog about today? The bad side of love. It is not love really it is an addiction. The woman in my poem ( a revamp of one I wrote four years ago) is married to a bully, womanising control freak , she does not realise she is the strong one I appeal to her because of love for her to have courage and brake the Hidden Chains.
Why not short sleeves and with your legs it is way too long.
Your husband is at the bar
You sit and watch him from afar.
He likes a shapely young body a weakness for a pretty face
He is not worried if you see. Such a shit he is a disgrace.
You should not worry , you should not care,
You still have your girlish figure and your flame red hair,
Your eyes are still that glorious blue
You have hardly changed since he married you.
It is sad his words have worn you down ,
He has taken your smile and stretched it into a frown.
He has pointed out your flaws too often and criticized you so much
His shouted put downs have not been forgotten you cringe at his touch.
Every time he pushes you too far
He buys you a pretty trinket like your amber necklace or a car.
He thinks if he showers you with gifts you will forget the scars.
Take some strength girl don’t keep caving in .You are the stronger one, you have strength of character. Much more than him, truth be known he has none. He is just a show off and a bully, he is a coward inside. What kind of man is it that feels big when he makes you cry.He is the one who would fall apart if you left so please lady in the blue dress find smile don’t look so bereaved.
