The prompt was to write a poem with the first line being any lyric in the Leonard Cohen song, “I’m Your Man”. WARNING: this one is quite bitter and caustic. If you’re not in the mood for this, come back and read another day.

Roller Coaster
Posted in Angry, Chaucerian roundel, Experiences, Feelings, People, Poems with tags anger, Angry, breakup, Chaucerian, Chaucerian roundel, heartbreak, hurt, lack of committment, Poems, poet, poetry, prompt, prompt poem, rejection, roundel on Sunday, June 8, 2008 by ravenswingpoetryThis was written off of a prompt from Simply Snickers, a site with prompts for poets. The catch? You must rhyme in some way. (I thought I had to rhyme, but I guess you don’t. Oh well. Still, I like this poem.)
I chose the Chaucerian roundel, again (easy use of forms is why I intend to master more of them) to do this thing. The prompt was to write a poem using the words “roller” and “coaster” in it. So I took the metaphoric meaning of a roller coaster instead of the literal. Enjoy.

They say time heals all wounds.
How precious is that healing
As I try to collect in into my heart and
Desperately to try avoid a role reversal -
I don’t want to turn into a monster
Like you. Read more »
