I shouted words you thought I never would;
You claimed it was my strategy and plan.
You saw me as a person kind and good,
But now you are a hurt and angry man.
I’m sorry! It’s my fault; I understand.
For I’m a human being just like you,
Responsible for everything I do.
And I, too, when the fire is burning red,
Get swallowed up by feelings’ flaming rue,
And say things that I wish I never said!

A dizain for
dVerse.
Great post 🙂
Don’t we all, very relatable writing and you conquered the form!
Very nice sound and good description why we all need forgiveness and mercy.
I like this line very much: ” Get swallowed up by feelings’ flaming rue,”
Your dizain is very good. I especially love that line ” Get swallowed up by feelings flaming rue”
But the whole of the piece is so descriptive of a lovers quarrel. Very nice, thanks for sharing.
Ah, don’t we all? (As others have already said.)
This is terrific! – a perfect example of the form, and your iambic pentameter creates a pace which exactly suits the mood and subject matter. I particularly like the phrase, ‘when the fire is burning red’.
Very fluid dizain Crystal. it read through without causing stumbles and rereading. Well done.
