I don't usually do strict rhyme-scheme poetry, so reading through "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" by Robert Browning shouldn't have inspired me as deeply as it did. However, it happened, and I took the a-b-b-a-a-b scheme, and worked it into my own style. Let me know how I did.

Therapy

I

Could I have done what I believe?
Or am I just a wand'ring fool
Not knowing yet just what is cool
But is this not of yestereve
The problem too large to conceive
Yet here it is, now to unspool

II

Wide awake in this hall of fears
The beginning too rough to feel
And all that this will do is steal
my sanity; the shadow leers
And drinks the power from my tears
What left? Naught but to kneel

III

My thoughts turn inward, then above
This therapy a fright'ning chill
That robs me of my spirit's will
At last! My prayers heard in white lands of
That God of life, that God of love
The Spirit gives me of my fill


EDIT: Heh. After reading it, I realized something. About a month after I wrote this, I lost my Christian faith. Just food for amusement.
