Literature Text

Here's to stars in blackened skies,
always watching from above.
Here's to flowers' failing beauty,
teaching us to never love.
Here's to accusations flying,
each that fit us like a glove.

To chances lost to negligence,
far past the hope of recompense.
To pledges, faith, and dedication.
To lives we gave in immolation.

        To us.
NaPoWriMo14, Day 26

Prompt: Write a curtal sonnet (6 lines, 4 lines, then one half line) in iambic pentameter.

I... did not realize how challenging iambic pentameter could be. This was not simple, but it was fun.

Hope you Njoi!
