A assemblage of poetic forms; entry for the 2012 Attys

The Poetry Project was ongoing from early 2013 through April 30, 2014. It invited readers to submit prompts, which I turned into poems. The prompts were quite varied and let me stretch my skills, like doing calisthenics. The project is over, but the poems remain.

Just some poems about life written by me. The poems are meant to tell a story when read in order. The photo on the cover of the angel does not belong to me, I found it on pinterest so unfortunately I do not know who it belongs to. I added the words, but the rest is someone elses and I do not claim to own it. Apparently he is some Asian singer or something.

A collection of poetry duets. I get verses 1-3-5 and my partner gets verses 2 & 4. My partner chooses the poetic topic and title and this collection is the result. Verses must be four lines long and of any poetic style. We hope you enjoy whatever inspiration comes your way...

"Rose, I'm sorry, but your eyesight will be gone by the end of this year." Who knew one simple sentence could change a life so drastically? Rose is a normal seventeen year old girl with a normal life, normal friends, and what she thought to be normal vision. When she receives the news her vision is slowly deteriorating, she doesn't know what to think. Her life is over. What's a life without being able to see? Enter Chace, a young man who tackled Rose to the ground, mistakingly thinking she was about to commit suicide. He's handsome, suave, and has no idea why Rose is so upset. And even though she is a complete stranger, he decides he wants to help her feel better. With four months until her vision is gone forever, Rose slowly falls in love with this happy-go-lucky young man, but never reveals her problem to him. She's scared. Will he stay with her when he finds out she's going blind? Or will he ditch her when he finds out the truth?

In this day and age, what truly defines being normal? What would you do just to fit in? (FIN)
