A Pie Rhyme
i am the only one who knows
we broke up on the other hand
about the fact we were lovers
nobody knows even you
In modern Russian poetry, there is such a genre as "stish'ok-pirozh'ok" (a pie rhyme). It's an iambic tetrameter quatrain, a feminine ending in the first and third lines, no rhymes, punctuation and capital letters. The content is frivolous or humorous. Black humor is welcome. Something like an English limerick, but simpler. Hoping, the soupers would like it)
