Since I returned home to Maine
I’m too busy fighting to be sane
Since I served in God’s name

Ten years too many
Ten years too few
Ten years of twenty
Is ten years too few

Done in by infidelity
Done in by serenity
Done in by civility
Done in by conformity

A fool for love
Met a fool for lust
Who flew like a dove
And left his heart to rust

A lustful woman no less
Who could not pass the test
Who could not remain faithful
And was downright ungrateful

In the name of love
And the gods above
A warrior was subdued
Oh how very rude

Crippled by rhetoric
And nothing is said of it
Disabled by mistake
His life he must remake

To make right
He must fight
To be right
He sheds light

Upon past confusion
And the lies she was using
That led to his abusing
And many a delusion

I didnt like the rhyme scheme cuz it seemed like you were beating the rhymes into the reader's face. I like the poem as a whole though. Also the last line in stanza 6 seemed like it was forced, but it could have been the way i read it. Even with those things i pointed out in mind it's better than the majority of what i've read on this site so far, but i'm new so...okay keep up the good work.

An interesting write. Very unique format.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
