Poem #14 (March 16, 2024)

Haze

climbs a man of a ladder of no return

for he followed a walking daisy

in a field of the injured

for he wept and shouted "grace me!"

a coward looks behind but the brave runs back

runs the man to the road of hazy

the sweet trail of the daisy

his eyes sees the light of purity

yet the mind knows the truth

a sight of deceit shall show affinity

now the man halts and looked back

perhaps he is meant to be a yellow-belly

his thoughts racing but his body rests

the trail gone and the petals faded

the man is still, the time still ticks his sight lost in the dark shaded

he now walks amidst the darkness

will the man be with the daisy he'd waited?

Notes

I had to search again for what this style was. I forgot the style as I made this two days ago. Anyways, the style is the ballad style. That's right it's the ballad poem vibes. There is no clear rhyme schemes so it's basically a DIY rhyme scheme. I chose the ABCBDB rhyme scheme cause it sounded fun. I liked the result but unfortunately, it's not singable(?) As I've done my research a ballad must have a musical quality. I made this without thinking of that. Maybe I would retry and think of the music properties(maybe limited syllables? Repetition?) as I produce the poem. Still, I liked this poem hehe.
