Fear: Reframed

Well, I wasn't going to post a second piece tonight.  Kind of wanted to get some feedback on the piece I posted earlier today, but this prompt over at form-for-all at D'Verse, was too good not to take a stab at it.

It's called Framed Couplets, and Gay's write-up is very good.  It's a form that, in short, uses nine syllables per line, where the couplet's first syllables rhyme as do their last ones.  It was one of those that seemed much easier before actually doing the writing, but aren't most of them though?  Anyhow, stop on over and check out this form, write one up and link up to D'Verse, but at the very least head on over and read the great pieces composed and linked up already.




Intrinsic qualities buried deep
Interesting syllabi’s slowly creep,
Sophistically washing love with shame,
Suffocating bliss with doubt and blame

Found are the fragments that still conceal
Foul thoughts protesting joy, reveal
Detaining crutches that hold us back,
Defining man, solely by his lacks

Variety and selection, are
Varicose to those afraid to start
Travails, shielding as not to betray
Troubled arteries alone and frayed
