Read, Write Poem prompt

sorrow

the day the sky was gray
my heart stopped beating
no longer would I have
control over my thoughts
the day the sky was gray


the day the sky was gray
the song stopped playing
and the world around us began.
a universe in which
only you and I exist--
the day the sky was gray


the day the sky was gray
our minds became one
our thoughts like the sun
shines on blades of grass
the day the sky was gray


the day the sky was gray
I began to drown
in a river of longing
for a time to be with you
the day the sky was gray

The repetition is lovely, and drew the poem around me.

The repetition wraps you up in it, like a blanket. Comfy.

Is this a certain form?

The way you set it up is interesting. The repetion mesmerizing.

writerwoman, to my knowledge, it's not a form, i just liked the way it flowed.
