I Write - Decade Edition - Roaring 20's

A Life Lived With Connection is Everything

A life lived with connection
Sings with a true devotion
Time stands still in reflection
You cannot rush affection
Be still and wait direction
The road opens perfection
Light shines giving protection
A life lived with connection.

Notes ▶︎

Round 86 of the Oriental Poetry Contest:
Ambahan

Themes: Typical themes are love, life, death, grief, relationships and nature.
Structure: 7 syllable lines, any number of lines you want. That is, the poem can be as long as you want.
Rhyme: The lines should have the same end-rhyme. That is, an AAAAA... rhyme scheme.
Language: Allegorical, in that the use of images, metaphors or stories that 'stand for something else' is encouraged.
