...One octive about missing my son

An Ottava Rima for Gregory

by Mustang Patty



With your absence, life seems to have gone astray,
Limited amount of texts and no phone calls.
I miss hearing your sweet voice every day,
Sometimes, I feel like just climbing the walls.
If love could heal you, I'd want you here to stay,
But neither one of us could endure the falls.
If only my phone would sound with your special ring tone,
Maybe I wouldn't be so worried you're all alone.

photo of my son three years ago, today. He was still living nearby, and he wasn't addicted. I miss that kid - but I know he won't return.

An Ottava Rima is a poem written in 8-line octives. Each line is of a 10 or 11 syllable count in the
following rhyme:

one octive poem. abababcc
two octive poem. abababcc, dededeff
three octive poem. abababcc, dededeff, ghghghii

I chose to do only one octive for this short poem.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
