"Parsimbralad" is a mutt; a mix of Partenza, Dorsimbra and Ballad. Do you like it?

Question

*****

YOU RUN FAST NOW

A wee and weary child, not mine,

not mine, a shadow spectre,

o’ spectre of a broken time,

en’ time from glass reflectors,

Mirror’s what we call them,

not image-man reflectors,

make up you mind on space and time,

project your self-protectors,

And wait for me, beyond the trees,

the trees, you’ll hear me in laughter,

laughter and me believing in things,

in things that giggle and whisper…

Answer 1

This a form I can relate to! We really are all mirrors, aren't we?

This is a real keeper.

Answer 2

Poetry evolves! Using the mirror as reflector to see one's youth is a very creative metaphor. The contrast of the whispering and giggling child with the "wee and weary child" tells the story of a lifetime in a few words.

Answer 3

I enjoy creativity in poetry. Your style makes this 'mix'  a glowing form!

Answer 4

WoW!  When you create, you create! This reminds me of a toddler racing around in a hall of mirrors.

Answer 5

I do like it.  I really like how you handled the wrapped refrain in the first stanza..."o' specter...en' time..."  Jill did that in her partenza and I thought it was ingenious.  I also enjoyed the rhyme and rhythm of the second stanza.  And, the last stanza is just plain sweet.  "in things that giggle and whisper"  This put a smile on my face.  You are on a role today :)

Answer 6

And almost a boogie woogie hit.
