Phoenix Sixain - For Contest, "A Personal Valentine" - Sponsor, Suzette Richards
It is a 6-line verse invented by Suzette Richards (2024).
Choose five consecutive lines from one of your older poems -- preferably verbatim.
Line 6: A word from each of these 5 lines, in sequence; therefore, a 5-word line.
Rhyme and meter are optional, and the syllable count per line is irrelevant.
(The 5-line verse is from my poem, “Farewell, My Loves,” 2018)

And now, it's here- that day, austere, when from your lives, I leave with drear- these words I share with love- sincere, for you, my lifetime, to revere. Dear husband, try to persevere- here leave words, my dear.
