Darts Of Pain [Lai]

by Jessica   Oct 29, 2006


Calm beats of a heart
From the skies they part
In rain..
Each drop drifts apart
Forming stunning art
In drains..
Ground hit with small darts
In streams, they depart
Like pain..

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
The Lai consists of nine lines and two rhymes, giving the form aabaabaab.

Lines ending with the "a" rhyme are five syllables long. Lines ending with the "b" rhyme are two syllables long.

    Something I love about your writing is that you manage to use a variety of different styles, and most importantly, make them work. This was wonderful. =]
