"Left Behind..."

Silver tears
Falling from my eyes.
They are drops
From my soul.
My love was killed far away.
What will I do now?

Folded flag
Given to me here
At his grave.
They salute
While the horn is playing taps.
My husband is dead.


Form: shadorma
A syllabic poem from Spain.
It has six lines - (a sestet) with a syllable pattern:3/5/3/3/7/5.
