Semetric Structure : Formal Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


Semetric Form

 

This is a style I created myself and has a focus on repeating the words used in each line .

The poem is broken up into two parts with the each section being  a mirrored replica of itself and continues to the finish of the poem .

         Bus Trip To Good Luck 

By Paul McCann

 

A bus came down from the top of the hill .

From the top of the hill a bus came down .

 

Have a look , shop around , time gets away .

Time gets away , have a look , shop around .

 

Into town I expect  they were going .

They were going into town I expect .

 

The bus was packed with many passengers .

With many passengers the bus was packed .

 

As the bus passed something didn’t seem right .

Something didn’t seem right as the bus passed .

 

It moved too fast , It looked out of control  .

It looked out of control , it moved too fast .

 

 

A warning sound the bus driver screamed out  .

The bus driver screamed out a warning sound .

 

I can’t slow down God help the brakes are gone .

The brakes are gone I God help I can’t slow down.

 

It was a miracle what happened next .

What happened next , it was a miracle .

 

There was a spill ,an accident occurred .

An accident occurred , there was a spill  .

 

Losing its load a cement truck had rolled .

A cement truck had rolled , losing its load .

 

Across the road this wet cement spewed out .

This wet cement spewed out , across the road   

 

The bus got stuck in all the wet concrete .

In all the wet concrete the bus got stuck .

 

Some would say that’s good luck .
Thanks be to God  .

Thanks be to God ,
some would say that’s good luck  .

 Dream Stealers

By Paul McCann

 

They took away my hopes and dreams ,

My hopes and dreams they took away .

 

They’ll try to say its all my fault .

Its all my fault they’ll try to say.

 

It seem to me so cruel and mean .

So cruel and mean its seem to me .

 

One day they’ll see the dreams I had  .

The dreams I had one day they’ll see.

 

 

 Poem 4

Time Never Ends

By Paul McCann

 

Hour by hour we measure our time .

We measure our time hour by hour .

 

Inside a jar the sand falls through .

The sand falls through inside a jar .

The time we spend we cannot  catch .

We cannot catch the time we spend .

 

There is no end some people say .

Some people say there is no end .

 

To where it’s at its just  a start .

Its just a start to where it’s at  .

 

I’ll treasure that eternally .

Eternally I’ll treasure that .
