Gervic's Poetic Explorations

Sands of Time

The sands of time slip hastily down.
This shattered piece in tears
still drowns. My wound will
never mend. When will my
heartaches end? You once
said that true love keeps
us alive. Yet without
you, how
can I
survive?
You know how
Much I long for you.
Since the day you bid adieu.
If only time goes back once I
reverse the hourglass, I would
never let the chance pass. I’d
hold you tight and never let go.
I’d let you feel how much I love you.

Author's Note ▶︎

Written for: "Search for a WDC HeartThrob Poet " 

Prompt: I would like to find this line in your poem:
"True Love will keep us alive!"
in Shape or Concrete Poetry

Shape Poetry is also associated with Concrete Poetry

Shape is one of the main things that separate prose and poetry. Poetry can take on many formats, but one of the most inventive forms is for the poem to take on the shape of its subject. Therefore, if the subject of your poem were of a flower, then the poem would be shaped like a flower. If it were of a fish, then the poem would take on the shape of a fish.

Shape and Concrete Poetry go hand-in-hand; however, Concrete or Visual Poetry don’t have to take on the particular shape of the poem’s subject, but rather the wording in the poem can enhance the effect of the words: from Shadow Poetry
