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
