CHIAVO CHIVALRY

romanticism-
unconditional
in every sense.
petals of fundamentalists
vivid in endless life
of which the politician
comes forth
in hopelessness.
extreme love
is in the thorns;
prickly emotions
left in eyes.
i am moved-
courtship aside
only brings to mind
that romanticism
be left behind
in pure chivalry:
a rose dies,
but in remembrance
of you in metaphor
as to your life,
*we all love you*
in our verse.

I love short sentences....

so the formatting doesn't bother me at all. Sensitive insight to a complicated situation! Bravo!

I may be wrong but...

I take that this poem is a reflection on Terri Chiavo and her inbetween status in this life. With that view... the emotional conflicts are strong in this poem. The boxed and encumburing style for me... brings forthe the caged essence of this woman.. trapped and unable to express oneself..

a strong work ty

Strong poem

with great lines and eye-catching title. Your poem seems a little boxed by the string-style formatting—maybe a little breathing room? I enjoyed this, nice work!
