Christopher Reilley Poems

Image by Ted Selkinnis for Unsplash November of a Life I’ve had a heart issue, it’s true. Now I’m freaked about what I do. Smoking has to go, this I know, as does the rum that soothes in kind. Time’s tick sounds loud to aging mind. Almost last of my clan to go, so many poems yet left to write; I won’t go down without a fight. November of a life - go slow. ------ Thanks to those fun folks over at DVerse Poets for introducing a new form; a Nove Otto. This poetry form was created by Scott J. Alcorn.  It is a nine-lined poem with 8 syllables per line (isosyllabic).  The rhyme scheme is as follows: aacbbcddc. ------ ©2024 Christopher Reilley  I would love to know what you thought about this piece.  Please consider leaving a comment.
