Acquiescence

ACQUIESCENCE

Late March
It’s depressing
Dirty snow and windy
A scrap of paper tatters by
And wrinkles itself around a tree trunk
The sky is overcast    but still
All hangs in time    stagnate
One gazes out
Resigned


This form must have a name, but I don't know what it is -
2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2 syllables
