A Glosa
This glosa poem is also one of my favorites, because I styled it after my favorite poet e.e. cummings. A glosa poem takes a stanza from a poem and uses the lines as ending lines in the stanzas of your own poem.
From the e.e. cummings poem
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go, you go, my dear)
i feel you with the coming of the sun
like a burning fire, heating up my skin
the flame it burns me (fiercely deep within)
you love, will always be my chosen one
until i take my last breath and i am done
and even then with my last earthly plea
from you i will never be fully free
despite people who say it is a sin
you hold the only lock that fits my key
i carry your heart with me....
