Prompt 3: The Bop is one of my favourite poetry forms. There are three stanzas. Each stanza is followed by a refrain (so the same statement is repeated three times). The first stanza is 6 lines long and presents a problem. The second stanza is eight lines long and can explore or expand the problem. The third stanza is 6 lines long and can either present a solution or document a failed attempt to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

{Sorrow is my saviour} <\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sorrow is my saviour<\/p>\n

Unlike your cold\u00a0<\/span>behaviour<\/p>\n

At least I can feel my pain<\/p>\n

But you are once removed<\/p>\n

Emotionally unavailable<\/p>\n

and already out the door<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s what I get for ignoring red flags….!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No more will I fill your void<\/p>\n

That great gaping hollow<\/p>\n

Which screams to be filled<\/p>\n

With bits of the other<\/p>\n

Bitten off in chunks<\/p>\n

And devoured with relish<\/p>\n

I became your receptacle<\/p>\n

Where you dumped your baggage<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s what I get for ignoring red flags….!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well, I have emptied the bin<\/p>\n

Your rubbish has gone to the dump<\/p>\n

I’ve gone and washed my hands of you<\/p>\n

Sanitised and disinfected<\/p>\n

There’s no more harm you can do<\/p>\n

You’re out of my life, you’ve been rejected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s what I get for ignoring red flags….!<\/p>\n
