Sheep (Diatelle Form)

Entry for: "Pond Poetry"   by ~♥~Krysha~♥~

This month's form is the Diatelle.The Diatelle is a fun, syllable counting form like the etheree with a twist. The syllable structure of the diatelle is as follows: 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1, but unlike an ethere, has a set rhyme pattern of abbcbccaccbcbba. This poetry form may be written on any subject matter and looks best center aligned in a diamond shape.

Sheep

Gone;
Small town
child’s playground
now polluted;
busy schedules abound;
simple family life convoluted;
dreams of innocence caught up and muted
by the racing defacing demands of hell’s spawn.
Tangled in social lies undisputed,
where transgression is saluted
and fear deters truth found.
New life rooted
by profound
change bound
pawns.
