This style is new to me , kinda like mathamatical poetry I guess considering the syllable count and all But it seems that no matter how we rearange sadness its strength is none the less depleted.
Very good write though, Its meaning was well expressed especially for such a short verse....5/5...Jim

Yes they are short but you did an excellent job in carrying the emotion across on so few words, very well written Sylvia , well done
