Quietus
A poem form created by” Unseeking Seeker,” consisting of one quatrain (with syllable count 8-6-8-6 with a rhyme of abab ), one tercet (with syllable count 6-6-6 with a rhyme of ccc ), and a refrain with a rhyme of (dd), made from a line of words from line one, the number of words is your choice.

Behind twisted clouds, the sun shrunk, the sky turned purple black and my hometown morphed into junk, as though shredded by flack. Trees got torn from the ground and you cannot rebound when your home’s but a mound. The dead sleep in shrouds, behind twisted clouds. (Quietus) 9/12/2021

Incredibly fine, Emile. This form is not easy, and you nipped it in the bud! Loved your poem even thought the theme was devastating. Have a good week ahead!
