Grief Is Overwhelming

Tri-Con
Created by Connie Marcum Wong consisting of at least 4 three line stanzas. Each line has no set meter or syllable count. The last word in each stanza must rhyme with the following Stanza and then you need to change your rhyming word again in the third stanza and so on.

                 

Grief hides behind a veil of tears that burn like acid rain, in a downpour of anger, hurt, and disbelief. Consuming every moment and every thought grief wants to lash out at the world, desperate for some relief. But nothing can numb the hurt, for grief clings to death, and in so doing devastates the living. When love shrinks to memories reflected within pools of tears, grief is overwhelming and unforgiving.

Admittedly, I tossed for a sec, but yours eased the kerfuffle, Emile, arduous for grief to place ... yet, your last stanza clinched it, my gratitude for your participation, and my compliments for your win, Aloha!

Exceptionally-fine write, Emile. I like this form and will probably give it a try when I have a theme for which it seems appropriate. I enjoyed your poem very much. GL in the contest.
