Is Epstein really dead ravenfly

Did Jefferey Epstein really Die? Ravenfly


 
Did Jeffrey Epstein really die
Was it murder or suicide
Or was the story just a lie
The government has often lied
Epstein’s ghost continues still
Regardless, Jeffrey now is gone
There’s nothing left for us to fill
No further truth to linger on
The fact remains he mingled long with friends
And rumors say they shared some girlfriends

10-line Poem Challenge #24: Ravenfly

Amanda J. Norton, writing on Allpoetry as DarkButterfly, has given us another decastich. Hers is called the Ravenfly. I did my best to create an etymology of the Cinq Trois DecaLa Rhyme, but I’m not even going to guess how the Ravenfly got its name.
This too is a rhyming poem, and it has three stanzas: 2 quatrains and a couplet. The line length is based on syllabic count as opposed to meter, but it could very easily lend itself to tetrameter for the quatrains and pentameter for the couplet.
In summary, the Ravenfly is:
• A decastich (10-line poem) written in 3 stanzas: 2 quatrains and 1 couplet.
• Syllabic count: 8-7-8-7, 8-7-8-7, 10-10
• Rhyme scheme: abab cdcd ee
• Meter is optional
