Incas (Wayra)

by Steven Beesley   Aug 2, 2005


This is my very humble attempt at this poetry form:

Incas:

Culture once so vast.
Machu Picchu up so high.
A mystery to baffle.
All have gone with the wind.
Such a tragic loss to us all.

Wayra:
South American verse form with syllable counts of 5-7-7-6-8. It means "Wind" in Quechua, one of the traditional native languages of Incan culture.

Note: Please correct me if there is anything wrong with the poem form, as I do not have much information on it.
