Life and bleak as synonyms


Why are days, oh so awfully bleak?

The end seems nigh but I am so weak

Darkness has come and taken away

The spirit I had, to move on I say

Oh God please do, help me reach the peak


Though the road ahead’s nothing unique

It has the means to tweak my physique

My heart and mind is full of dismay

Oh so awfully bleak


I see a light that’s twinkling to speak

To hurl at me depressing critique

I wipe a tear and try to display

The cheery side, soon to fade away

Oh so awfully bleak



EPILOGUE

I wrote the poem life and bleak are synonyms in the poetry style Rondeau. I particularly like this picture because of the emotions that are invoked in me the minute i lay my eyes on it. The dark and uncertain pathway seems to illustrate the journey of life where one's future is vague and many a times we see ourselves changing to the situation. We tend to put on a front, a happy cheerful front, when inside a little of us dies each time we walk through the path of life. Man and nature is closely related to my poem because nature tends to have the ability to tweak our feelings and that is how we relate to nature. The issue of nature being superior to man such that we are unable to control our lives but instead rely on nature and allowing ourselves to be influenced by nature. I did not get inspired by any poem per se, but rather it reminded me of a famous poet, William Wordsworth's strong love for nature and also his deep feelings for nature as being as superior as God was.
