Poetry Structure - In-Tense : Modern Poetry

 

In-Tense

 

 

This is an original structure I created which moves from past tense to present tense . The idea behind this form is to prompt a narrative storyline or theme .

 

My Example

 

I Can't Have What I Had 

By Paul McCann

 

 

 

I had drugs .

I had pubs.

I had girls on call .

 

I had fought .

I had thought ,

I had done it all.

 

I had burned .

I had turned .

I had to atone .

 

 

I was gone .

I was wrong .

I was on my own .

 

I had lost all I had then I got it back .

 

 

I have faith

I am safe .

I have earned respect  .

 

I have fun .

I have won .

I have worked it out  .

 

 

I have found .

I am bound .

I have no more doubt .

 

I am glad .

I have had all other things added.

 

I have found my life when I lost all I had .
