What's My Fault?

Hollow faith caress bruised esteem scars hidden underneath the seam night reverberate silent screams aborted dreams,aborted dreams fractured by lustful invasion modesty lies among treason Why victims are pinned as reason? unfold questions, unfold questions. drenched in shame, locked in guilty vault she gulps down his ruthless assault striving for answers, 'What's my fault?' When life will halt, when life will halt? Poetry Type - Monotetra The monotetra is a new poetic form developed by Michael Walker. Each stanza contains four lines in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight syllables. What makes the monotetra so powerful as a poetic form, is that the last line contains two metrical feet, repeated. It can have as few as one or two stanzas, or as many as desired.

Oh, Rajlakshmi, this is something new for me, this monotetra. I shall have look into it. Monorhyme is alright but what makes it Monotetra? perhaps the syllable count...
