Again

Posted by Larkin Williamson on December 18, 2009 - 23:17
from the ABC set Puffs of Poetry

Staggering moon
Drunken fog
Iron fence canes
Numb cold hand
Dirty white cat
Waits near window
Deaths wind dances
Gray thin hair
Warm stale tea
Joins cheap vodka
Life's last sips
poured in graves
Such a lone tear
Red eyes closing
It was a time
Final word God
First word mom
Again

I really like this but the 'Again' at the end confused me. Also, does it follow a specific/typical structure in that it's always a certain amount of syllables per line and certain number of lines. Sorry, I don't really know anything about poetry and trying to enlighten myself.

Thanks Pascal...you may know as much about poetry as I do. I am mainly a songwriter.
The "Again" at the bottom represents reincarnation. There are many, many fine poets on here....I try to read them and learn.
Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

That was my first thought. I like it.
