All That Glitters (Diatelle)

~*~*~*~*~ All That Glitters ~*~*~*~*~
-------------- (Isn't Always Gold) ---------------

.................................................................
............................ tears ............................
.......................... cascade ..........................
....................... fell betrayed .......................
.................... for lies were told ....................
............... beneath a masquerade ...............
........... every glitter shan't turn gold ...........
....... never a happy ending shall unfold .......
.... reality confirming all my darkest fears ....
....... heart forever to be frozen, so cold .......
........... love not to be taken and sold ...........
............... after all cards are played ..............
.................... all you don't hold ....................
....................... too shall fade .......................
......................... dark shade .........................
............................ nears .............................

The Diatelle is a fun, syllable counting form like the etheree with a twist. The syllable structure of
the diatelle is as follows: 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1, but unlike an ethere, has a set rhyme
pattern of abbcbccaccbcbba. This poetry form may be written on any subject matter and looks
best center aligned in a diamond shape.
