@roland, This is nice

To every1 out there searching for love, do not burden your mind with worry and sorrow.

Listen to the cries of the warning sparrow    A
A troubled mind is like a wheel-barrow      A
All it carries is nothing but sorrow
It weighs you down when you seek to travel solo    A
Like quick-sand, the more you panic the more it swallows    A

A troubled mind has no marrow       A
All the worries have made it hollow      A
Painful mysteries line up its tomorrow      A
Sharp pains from its most poisoned arrow     A
Like the fear of a woman who walks the gallows     A

A troubled mind is like a dragon’s kiss    B
So much fire waiting to release        B
With one breath it can all go amiss      B
Not a chance to ever find peace        B
Tread softly or damage the Golden Fleece      B  
 
For when life brings you sorrow     A
The waters ahead look dirty and shallow      A
And the road looks crooked and narrow      A
Alas there’s no need to wallow       A
For Dawn approaches with a charming fellow    A
To bring good news of good times that follow      A
To rescue you like Moses from a Pharaoh      A

I pray to God that you all may never tire      C
Like the piercing notes of his church’s choir      C
he will bless and take you higher      C
Faith and trust is all He requires       C
Even if it goes down to the wire       C

Cool, the end rhyme for each stanza is cool and lovely. keep it up!


Gbammmm over and out

Re: A Poem To The Unknown Future: by Aimzee(m): 7:02am On Jan 06, 2013
nice write and you took good advantage of poetic tools like similes, metaphor, and imagery in particular but rhyme scheme was misplaced. Good one all the same.
