Helplessness
Today his birthday;
expected to
be too glad, they'd say
lived tough time through.
But, why he looks sad?
What's the reason?
Ah! boys made him mad
as they're teasing?
The thought he can't act
as others do
makes him sad, it's fact;
they also knew.
He feels helplessness
needs benevolence.

Skeeter Sonnet is a Gadget Sonnet form created by
Barry Hopkins, writing on Allpoetry as Black_Narcissus,
and given the name Skeeter Sonnet by Lawrencealot.
It is a quatrazain.
It is metrical consisting two metric feet a dactyl
(a metrical foot consisting of one stressed syllable
followed by two unstressed syllables or one long syllable
followed by two short syllables) and followed by a trochee
(a foot consisting of one long or stressed syllable followed
by one short or unstressed syllable)
All even lines except the last, are catalectic
[lacking one syllable in the last foot].
