Regrets

Form: Infinite Dot Thirteen Verse Is a rare form of poetry, where by the poem is made up of thirteen lines and within the poem has interspersed dots for emphasis on the spoken word. However the total number of dots must add up to 33, and the additions to arrive at this number should or may have significance. Examples would be 16/17 or 10/10/13 or mystical such as 12/12/9 and you can subdivide the 12 say as 7/5 to equal 12. There are no other punctuations used, to place emphasis on the specific pauses. Life in your thirties Your getting old in youngsters eyes Yet what has happened to the years before I was born ...educated ...loved and lost Heart ached for the what was and isn't now Time passed thoughts remain Where are the friends I made along the way They dropped .......like stones ..... .....why Did conversation die Or fade .......Regrets Yes many...when I think of you.

The comment below is all mine. I did not steal words from Paul Anka that Frank Sinitra is famous for singing. I wrote this My Way!

My friend, I'll say it clear. I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. Regrets, I've had a few. I did what I had to do and saw it through. Through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out. I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing and now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.To think I did all that and may I say, not in a shy way.For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. A Fav!

Seren I was so pleased for Arthur to get poem of the day for his Mega death write - this is equally deserving of the honour - wise words indeed - we all have regrets in our lives and moving on from a friendship can happen for a million reasons :-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx

Oh, Seren. This is such a powerful piece. I like how you have incorporated the form that Arthur introduced. I see the power of those dots here. I overuse dots in my writes, but to know that it can be used as poetry is fascinating. You brought your message home well in that last line. Beautiful.
