Gerald Kithinji Poet I do not know?

Dusk In the Mara

Alas! 'Tis the lionesses out to hunt 
And the Mara antelopes out of luck 
That trouble your vision, me friend. 
Come, let's quick to our tent, 
Lest the crouching queen, 
And the scheming king, 
Find us in the wind
Curious friend
Of the Mara
Come
Oh

Skat A August 6, 2013 at 9:17 AM Hello Garald, this form is like the reversed -Etheree- the first line having one syllable, each succeeding line adding a syllable, with the total syllable count being fifty-five, or something like that.. like i said almost... love it by the way :-) SKAT Gerald Kithinji August 6, 2013 at 10:01 AM Thank you Skat-OZ for the education- and for visiting often. If I can, by a stroke of genius, pen another one in the genre, I'll be sure to categorize as Etheree.
