Surviving depression; A second poem using my own form~Patina
Thwarted Assassin

Despised depression
Mournful, morose melancholy

Murderer of my spirit


Ardent prayers
Somber, seeking strains

Desperate search for serenity


Undaunting hope
Intrepid, imperishable incentive

Salve for my infirmity


Pat Nelson

***Poetic Form: Patina (my own form): first line is an adjective and a noun; second line contains two adjectives and a noun which tell more about the first line (these three words should begin with the same letter); last line is four words long and tells what the first two lines mean to the writer. This form can be repeated for as many verses as the writer likes. Punctuation is up to the poet. No punctuation is required, but a comma between the two adjectives in the second line is often helpful to the flow.
