Sea of Gloom

** Image ID #1544391 Unavailable **
Alone I stand, against the sea of gloom.
Rebellious feelings lashing down my mind,
I muse on past mistakes that so consume.
I cannot help myself but be repined.

Plaintive notes strike my heart, shattering it.
As I watch swirling waves, begin to roar,
My mind retraces back to the beach, where,
We had left footprints of love on the sand.

Alas! the vacant yearning of my heart
I find my sorrow as my only friend.
Distress, the only price of loving you.
Alone I stand, against the sea of gloom.

Form:Dorsimbra

Comprised of three stanzas, each a different form.

Stanza #1: Shakespearean/Sicilian Sonnet style (4 lines, rhymed abab, in iambic pentameter)
Stanza #2: 4 lines of free verse
Stanza #3: 4 lines of Blank Verse (unrhymed but metrical in iambic pentameter)

The form was created by three writers associated with Sol Magazine and they suggest using certain poetic devices, like enjambment, near rhymes, and internal rhymes to bind the three different stanzas together into one solid poetic piece.
