Wretched Paradelle
wretched Paradelle
my exercise in grief this is
my exercise in grief this is  
this paradelle exercise,
is my wretched grief.

My mind is vacant
my mind is vacant
brain befuddled by dead  thought
brain befuddled by dead thought      
vacant brain is thought dead
by my befuddled mind.

The end is near
the end is near,
I really need satisfaction
I really need satisfaction
the satisfaction that I need,
is really near the end.

My brain dead mind
is befuddled
by vacant near- paradelle,
my grief is this wretched thought,
the end satisfaction is that
I really need the exercise!

Debbie, what a great way to exercise your mind. Now that you've built the track you can go round and round for hours.
Be well

Kethry, that's exactly what I did! I'm dizzy from the effort!

Sven, thanks, but I don't think I'll ever try to write one again! (once is enough for me!)

Kit, thank-you, I agree, I have read some beautiful Paradelles by others since this exercise began.  I think I'll leave this to the experts from now on! Whew!

Debbie~
And another case of Tylenol for the exercise !
These are excruciating to do, as we have found out.
Liking the rise to the challenge ... oh, yeah !
