Personal Sound and Form Poem

"The Feeling"
(Imitating "The Eagle")

The sensation sometimes comes unexpectedly.

Yet no matter when that phenomenon does happen, it must be cared for tenderly.

Now all there is to do is wonder and hope that one day it will come to me.


Forgetting, losing, or walking away from the feeling is tragic,

And if it lies in your grasp, but is abandoned then that would be idiotic,

For we must treasure it because love is the closest thing we have to magic.

  1. Strong word choice and good rhyme! Not that you don't need to imitate anymore, though, I suggest playing with the line breaks so each line isn't so long. This will create unexpected internal rhyme, which is quite mature.
