Pain (Tetractys)

Pain ( Tetractys )

Pain
Searing
Cutting through
Blinding senses
Wishing to disappear from this torture

It finds me no matter where I'm hiding
Burning my soul
No relief
Can't see
me

Tetractys should express a complete thought, profound
or comic, witty or wise using 20 syllables. They can be
written with more than one verse but each subsequent
verse must invert the syllable count. There is no limit
to the number of verses. The structure is:

line 1 - 1 syllable
line 2 - 2 syllables
line 3 - 3 syllables
line 4 - 4 syllables
line 5 - 10 syllables

    Brilliantly clever write, Cindy. I always admire people who are so adept at form poetry - from what I've tried, I find it very difficult!
    All the very best
