Metrical form: Amphibrachic tetrameter catalectic, with a trochaic dimeter refrain. There is a substitution of the second amphibrach for an iamb in the last full line, with the effect of dividing the line into two equal parts.

the bright copper kettle gets dirty sometimes

like evenings where tea is replaced with the wine

the pot is no better — a scrubbing is due

both charred by the fire then washed in the dew

Hello, could you scan my poem, please? 💕

Get away, my tightness deep in the own chest,

Whenever I see you with another conquest,

The next day, your princess, will she be far gone?

I shiver in my blue thick cover alone

scansion:

◡ ◡ – / ◡ – ◡ / – ◡ ◡ / – – Get away, / my tightness / deep in the / own chest, ◡ – ◡ / ◡ – ◡ / ◡ ◡ – ◡ / – ◡ Whenever / I see you / with another / conquest, ◡ – ◡ / ◡ – ◡ / ◡ – ◡ / – – The next day, / your princess, / will she be / far gone? ◡ – ◡ / ◡ ◡ – / – – ◡ / ◡ – I shiver / in my blue / thick cover / alone

meter: The first 3 lines have a clear pattern are underlyingly three amphibrachs plus a spondee, with some anaclasis within the spondees in the first line. Line 4 keeps the same number of syllables as the previous lines but diverges rhythmically after the first foot.

rhyme scheme: AABB' (line 4 has a slant rhyme)

Using form: Amphibrachic tetrameter: John Beaton, 'Regeneration'

Hay ripens. I sharpen my tapering scythe blade and chamfer its wafer of paper-thin steel with stone swoops; it’s hooked like a peregrine’s talon. The snaking shaft sweeps and the first swathe is side-laid beside me, clean slain. As I swing I can feel the gravid field yielding. Sheaves kneel and then fall in the breeze in formation. Their early seeds dance there like next April’s rain-showers…

I'm dressed to the nines and unpleasantly sober and I haven't told you that I'm coming over. I walk toward your room in my black leather heels and from down the hall boom inconsiderate peals of loud laughter. It's late. They'll wake up the whole floor. Then I, rounding the corner, catch sight of your door swinging shut, and the laughter is suddenly quiet. I freeze for a moment, refusing to cry. It's a hasty retreat that I beat in that second, so no one will know I was here. Should have reckoned you wouldn't be lonely, tonight of all nights. You have friends you would actually want to invite.

NaPoWriMo ~ Day 1

Flowing through the crevices within my mind Establish reality, which I survive; To fall or to thrive is A question of mine and Whose answer is lost in some ditch of my mind.

[bisexualwildflower]

Yes, I’m feeling lost awaiting the dawn, so smitten, so soft for someone so gone.
