Alone

A poem written in the Ghazal form for the Poetry in Rhyme and Rhythm contest.

Down life's road, he went alone.
Chioces made, as he went, alone.

First he took the beaten path,
Walking, even when spent, alone.

There, his life, wasted away
As he felt pain, torment, alone.

He turned around on the path,
Walking, the way he'd went, alone.

LeeAnn, this man, in circles
He walks, without repent, alone.
