In love is not something I’m meant to be
Even if I want it
Love is a burden from which I am free
Of course I love to a certain degree
But I don’t love a ship when waves are rocking it
In love is not something I’m meant to be
Heartbreak drags us to a place that is beastly
And I have no time to be caught in that pit
Love is a burden from which I am free
I would not recognize if love found me
Because to another I can’t commit
In love is not something I’m meant to be
It’s like a shipwreck that leaves behind debris
Although death is an encumbrance we cannot outwit
Love is a burden from which I am free
I will not board a sinking ship in a tumultuous sea
That pain is one I’d like to remit
In love is not something I’m meant to be
Love is a burden from which I am free

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
