This
sunrise
is not what
I imagined--
the breathless tide of a love I can't keep.
:iconglory-be-project: Day 34

*RiseandBe challenged me to: Choose and write a fixed form you've never tried before.

This is a Tetractys--Tetractys should express one complete thought using 20
syllables. They can be written with more than one verse but
each subsequent verse must invert the syllable count. There is
no limit to the number of verses. The structure is:
line 1 - 1 syllable
line 2 - 2 syllables
line 3 - 3 syllables
line 4 - 4 syllables
line 5 - 10 syllables
