~::~ Lanes of Loneliness ~::~
I
Walked down
Untrodden
Unwinding lanes
Breaking free from menacing worldly chains
Earth, fire, wind, air converge, to my despair
Standing alone
Dry dead leaves
With me
Moan
Tetractys
tetractys is a complete thought written in 20 syllables.1st line 1 syllable, 2nd line 2, 3rd line 3, 4th line 4, 5th line 10 .
A tetractys can also be inverted for a 10, 4, 3, 2, 1 count, and also given the snowflake form – two verses of complete thought, one in the 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 form, followed by the 10, 4, 3, 2, 1 form.
For the first time I am combining quite a number of meme-prompts together 😀
This poem is for Monday Poetry Potluck

Thank for visiting, Meg, and sorry too for the late visit, I am on a deadline roll for my novel 🙂 as I already set a goal of the date completion, that’s why XD and coming back to the poem, it is once again beautiful and touching, it is hard to walk down a lonely path alone, we do need people beside us at all times to share the joys and sadness =)
thank you Riikal dear 🙂
all the best for your novel 😀
and hope to read you soon 😀
Great job on the theme! I really liked your poem. The style was amazing too, never knew a style like that existed.

Meg… awesome to see you link up for One Shot! 🙂 Killer rhyme on “Breaking free from menacing worldly chains” Deep poem using a very restrictive form. (Meg is in the house! Yay!)
