Too many roads I have to cross
And too much pain I have to bear
Too many seas I have to sail
Now there’s one mask I have to wear.
Sing me a song that lifts me up
Paint a picture that speaks up, too
Tell me the word that’s not too sharp
I only want the best from you.
Give me a flow’r with gentle scent
Save the petals to gain my strength…
I made this poem in 10 minutes as my entry to a contest with the following rules:
-use "too" and "too" differently
-use of "much" and "many"
-use of the word "petals"
-those 5 words shall appear in any of the 10 lines (5 in 10)
