Loneliness

A poem for Pond Poetry Contest

Darkness skirts
Walk toward the light
Crave the end
Wish to die
Death is a bitter, sharp pill
Warm light; soothing bright

This was created in response to a contest which involved a photo prompt along with a poetic form called Shadorma, which uses a syllabic pattern of 3/5/3/3/7/5. This is my first attempt at this form.

Many thanks to the judges and sponsors of this contest for teaching me something new about poetry!
