"Paper with Burnt Edges" - Partenza Repressa

I'm writing this note just to say,

to say the words so long unsaid,

so long unsaid before today,

before today falls far away.

I couldn't say it face to face,

face to face the words are hollow,

are hollow lacking any trace,

any trace of my heartbeat's race.

It seems no matter how I try,

how I try to tell you the truth,

the truth--to love you is to die.

To love you is to die, good-bye.

I'm writing this note just to say,

to say the words so long unsaid.

So long unsaid, I love you still,

You still have my heart, always will.

  1. The poem sing songs and echos it's refrain, and tells a clear tale.

    Kudos

  3. Very sweet,very felt and sad. I like it.

  4. Another beautiful Partenza Represa from you! Love the title, it helps set the image throughout the poem.

  5. I love this.  It is a wonderful poem; the style is new to me, but I find it graceful as it dances across the words, twirls and drops me to the next refrain.

    I do not know the Partenza Represa, but this is a wonderful poem and if it meets the requirements it is superb.  If it doesn't meet the requirements, it is still superb.

    T.

  6. This is done right. My compliments.

  7. Soft, sweet, and eloquent--like the feathered quill pen. This could have been a poetic letter denouncing our relationship and it would have left me okay with it. I wish my Dentist had that voice.


  8. I am happy to see the Poets working on a classical form today. I was getting a bit tired of Limericks.

  9. You've given the Partenza Represa a beautiful voice of love and longing.  I love it :)

  10. Fantastic! I just discovered these a few minutes ago.

    It looks like it could be a very fun form and challenging at the same time.

  11. By itself it's fun to read; the repetition at the start of a line of a phrase from the preceding line has its charm, stately and serious at times--informal and light at others, and it clearly gives the poet a chance to show his or her skills. Overall, I like it and am glad you posted it for us to read. But a steady diet of poems with such a structure would, I fear, become less than delightful. Thanks again for sharing the poem and for introducing me to the Partenza Repressa, a structure I was not previously aware of.
