Altschmerz Poem by Shraddha kanna
Altschmerz
(An attempt at a Triolet.)
Is this what I've chosen to become?
trapped in the webs of complacency
traded in familiarity for freedom.
Is this what i've chosen to become?
I hear my calling fading into a distant hum.
congenial to my delusion, will i ever be free?
Is this what i've chosen to become?
mere prey to the webs of complacency.
songs have been written about breaking free? we just talk about it, sing about it and dream about it and push it to the corners of our minds and go to bed every night.
but tonight when you sleep? or the next time someone asks you.. how are you?
are you really fine?
Unfortunayely I have very little idea about poetic forms being an ameteur poet, so I cannot really have much to say about the form.. But from an amateurs eye, it fits really well.. However, more importantly, I really loved your poem, the subject matter of it, and your 'notes'.. It is fine specimen of poetry for me.. Thank you for sharing and a big, hearty welcome to Poemhunter Shraddha :)
thankyou so much for taking the time to read. this form is called a triolet, its my first attempt at it. :)
