The days are for celebration
But for those who are sad
It sucks
Wondrous nights of jubilation
Or thoughts of times we had
Redux
This is from a dVerse prompt: Emily Romano’s Memento poetry style: the syllable count should be 8 beats for line one; 6 beats for line two; and two beats for line three. This is repeated twice for each stanza. The rhyme scheme is: a/b/c/a/b/c for each of the two stanzas.
Poetry Theme: a holiday or an anniversary (formal or informal)
