#Rondel: Goodbye #atozchallenge

Posted on 21 April 2017

I say goodbye to you today
Hoping life will treat you well
On the sadness please don’t dwell
As forever, I walk away

Over the years, our lives went astray
And being together became hell
I say goodbye to you today
Hoping life will treat you well

I hope someday I can convey
At one time i was under your spell
I thought then, the future would be swell
But then our love did decay
I say goodbye to you today

    I feel like I’m sitting in a room, maybe with a lit fireplace, hugging my knees, reading this poem and just… I don’t know what to say, I loved it so much! I wish I could link it with the story I’m writing for my A to Z.

    You’re coming up with so many forms of poetry that I had never even heard about! The poem speaks so well of love lost, too.

    Your poem is very expressive, a bit sad with its message of parting, but pragmatic in its choice of wording. I love learning new forms of poetry for me to try. Thank you for sharing this.

    I am short of words. The poem is simply beautiful. Lost love is always a topic close to my heart. Loved it

    Sad poem. At least they parted amicably.
    I didn’t get that about the caps. That capital B is not repeated anywhere? I’m confused.
    Enjoy your off! And come back and catch up with my blog okay! 😛
    Happy AtoZing!

    I so love this! The words, the rhymes – all marries so beautifully.
    Maybe you should make a book out of this years A to Z. It will do really well.

    Another interesting form and a very well written poem. A goodbye note written with so much emotion and grace.
