DAMN !

You are VERY hard to

     forget,

            yet

I KNOW that I

      MUST!

           Just

give me a little

      time!

           I'm

trying HARD to be

      GOOD!

           (Should

I ACT bad, try to

      see

          me

as a "SENSITIVE YANKEE"

      man.)

          Can

"FREEDOM" be just a

      word

           heard

in my ears, not my

      HEART?

            part

of my heart is

       gone ,

            lone.

I'm trying to forget, REALLY I

        am!

           DAMN!!



               (Because of human comfort

               we can bear human griefs;

                 because of human love

         we can bear human misunderstandings.)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Does anyone know what this form of first-word-rhymes-with-last-word is called?  A mon coeur poem.

Ahh, a new form to try. I have done a few Haiku's (not posted to my site) and I have tried a couple of Nonets. It is the learning thing you know. (smiles) I have printed this and I will now try a Mon Coeur poem. Thanks for the insight. I will let you know if I come up with something. ~Lesa~
