Disappointment [Reverse Etheree]

by Tammie   May 21, 2007


Disappointment obvious in her voice
It quivers, about to break in two
A single silent tear falling
Clashing with her fading smile
Her heart sinks. This feeling
All too familiar
Tearing this girl
To pieces
Just once
More.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A Reversed Etheree Consists of 10 lines with the syllables of : 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

* This is my first attempt of this style. Comments on improvements would be much appreciated. Thanks. *
