Tomorrow Never Comes

For The Vocal "Out of Order" Challenge

Introduction

I am finding these Vocal poetry challenges quite amusing it that they state the poem must be a minimum of a hundred words, so does that mean that haiku, senryū (川柳 ) and other short form poems will be diqualified or not accepted.

For this I will use a ghazal form, which although repetitive will allow me t write the required hundred words, although this intro clocks in at over a hundred words, but they, I assume are not included in the count for the poem.

The music is the gorgeous "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" by Bob Dylan.
