Tinker, tenor, carpenter...


Tony over at dversepoets.com introduces us to Terza Rima - Italian three form poetry for Thursday's Form

for all..perhaps this needs a do over..what think?



  Emotions of the past are presently
  frayed, stirring, slowly unraveling
  pulling apart my full heart pensively

  I need strength to meet affairs of the day

  Life's joys, sorrows are an open letter,
   memoirs of lifetime's task to find my way

  I'm a multi-hued heavy knit sweater

  Warming life's wheels, changing plugins, trappings
  the attitude of a reaching tenor

  - and the spirit of a tinker tapping

  Should I build more spring nests for fall's cold rains?
    Tired of slander, hammering lies' rapping

  Experience distills for memory's sake

  Forever sails unfurl, my soul to send
 Learning to be alone before end's take

  Let salt of the ocean the spirit mend

  Leave immortal foot paths in dark blue skies
  It's ironic for after all one lends

  to life,  love, raising  and building good lives,
 We lose life, all we have; all truth arrives
