What a Day

I will just be calm and quiet After the unrest of the storm Things can settle and be tranquil Can I approximate tranquil With heartbeat loud, what is quiet I am afraid that I am the storm Yes, I will run from the storm To manifest tranquility Fear still consumes me quietly Quiet regrets, tranquil sorrows, further storms forecast

Im trying to understand this form hah.you’ve done it effortlessly really. Do we have to pick the title too based on commonly used words? I think i understood the rhymes there… this is very interesting. Love it

The idea of using your own frequently used words was to enhance the call and response nature of the form which leads to revelation by the third stanza (maybe!). You can pick any three words and the title is completely yours to choose and not judged. Good luck
