Yet to be born, a tiny soul <br />Blessing bestowed from God above <br />Ripped apart and out of control <br />Cold metal tools and surgeon’s glove <br /> <br />Blessing bestowed from God above <br />and more than a mind can consume <br />Sent to this world, a perfect love <br />Nestled within a mother’s womb <br /> <br />Ripped apart and out of control <br />An abomination to man kind <br />Human life that society stole <br />How could anyone be so blind <br /> <br />Cold metal tools and surgeon’s glove <br />Can’t we stop what abortion stole? <br />Damn politicians need a shove <br />This poet’s pen is out of control <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Author's Notes: <br /> <br />Retourne: <br /> <br />so many other French forms, the retourne is all about repetition. It contains four quatrains (four-line stanzas) , and each line has eight syllables. The trick is that the first stanza's second line must also be the second stanza's first line, the first stanza's third line is the third stanza's first, and the first stanza's fourth line is the fourth stanza's first. Retournes do not have to rhyme.<br /><br />Amera Andersen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/abortion-15/
