This was an assignment that was supposed to be a palinode with at least two prose stanzas.  A palinode, as I discovered, was a poem in which you take back something you said previously, though that earlier statement does not have to be explicit.  I had no idea what to say and then retract, so I decided I would first write the prose parts and see what I could come up with.  I decided to write the first one about my final encounter with Daniela, and how it made me feel.  Then I had the idea that for the second I would write about another girl in which a different situation turned out to be wholly similar.  So naturally I wrote about someone else who shall remain nameless.  Once I had my two prose sections, I started coming up with an idea that the stanzas would reflect the progression in time of a person, beginning with birth and working through the disillusion which would accompany such prose stanzas, and culminating ultimately with the idea, borrowed from the song Get Away by Earshot, that "sometimes it's easier to burn it to the ground" rather than to keep going.  So I came up with 5 sections, and the idea that as the person grew, the metrics of each would shift, reflecting the changes in mood and character.  The first would be Nascence, and would be all 8 syllable rhyming couplets.  This followed by Belief in 10 syllable quatrains with alternating rhyme and non-rhyme, then Induction with 12 syllable lines and a sestet rhyme scheme.  Next would come Mud, in free verse, and then Arson to finish it up in 3 syllable lines that had a tercet rhyme scheme as a sort of contraction to conclude the descent into disillusion.  In the actual writing though, I couldn't get into the Induction section with this plan intact, so I decided to remove the Mud section and write Induction in free verse, then skip straight into Arson, which also allowed the poem to be more brief and concentrated.  Then I just had to flesh out the poem, and I hit upon the idea that the speaker was feeling burdened, especially by a mother from whom he did not feel appropriate levels of love and caring.  As soon as I had that, The idea of this external weight on this person became a theme, and I tried to expand on it in the pattern I had set myself, with the conclusion being that they rescind the things they had promised initially to make themselves feel needed because in reality, they weren't needed.  The poem is about self-delusion and the problems that result from children having to bear burdens foisted upon them by parents who either know better and don't care or just don't know better.  And this burden will eventually begin to manifest itself outside the parent-child relationship and it will infect every aspect of a person's character down the road, especially their dealings with others, as the prose sections attempt to illustrate.
