Death allows us to see the true vision of the rainbow.
Writer's Cramp: Le Sizain hétérométrique
One of the most romantic forms of the sizain is the sizain hétérométrique.
Remarkable is the fact that the lines in this sizain are odd – not even.
Sentences with three and seven syllables are used to create this form.
The rhyme scheme is AABCCB.

Our Journey Upward



A rainbow’s arc forms a path,

heaven’s lath.

Bowed low from our earthly sight,

We think both sides slide downward.

But Death’s word

In God’s ear, flips it upright.
