My Poems: Society’s Song (Trifextra Challenge)
I’ve been following a blog called Trifecta for a while now, but I’m one of those long time readers first time writers, lol. The following is my first submission to Trifecta’s challenge. Usually, they require you write with a certain word. However, for this challenge they have allowed their writers a freebee. No word required, just make sure it’s 33 words total. I may not win when compared to the other great entrees, but I’m going to give it a go anyway. 😉
Society’s Song
Lost in simplicity
No more thought
End of creativity
You are caught
Kept by dreams,
No longer real
Broken by regimes,
That don’t feel
Why stay strong?
It’s only our fatal society song

About the author Chyina
I’m a Goth/Hippie who loves to try new things and dabbles in anything and everything that I find enjoyment in. That can include but is not limited to, cooking, art, digital design, jewellery making, photography, gardening, nature, animals and whatever else strikes my fancy. I’m an optimistic (occasionally) perfectionist (constantly), who can be very sarcastic (incessantly), but all in good humour. :)

No worries about being a Trifecta newbie. This is a very encouraging and supportive community of talented writers. I am glad that you “gave it a go” and linked up. I thought that your poem spoke to a lot of truths about our society and our place within it. Well done. Looking forward to seeing what else you have up your creative sleeve. 🙂

Oh my gosh, I feel this so much! I work in a profession that I really don’t like very well, but at my age (pushing 50) jumping ship isn’t an option, especially in this economy. My job isn’t the worst, I’m just incredibly burned out. I went into health care because my mother wanted me to, not because I wanted to. Always a mistake.
At my age and level of curmudgeonry, I refuse to have anything to do with the snobby sites. They ain’t all that, they just like to think they are.
