new form every day... Dizain (day 28 of 365 in 365)

INVISIBLE



this friendship slowly slips away

or perhaps that is perception

maybe we just need a new day

to make another connection

and move in a new direction

I hold to hope like a life ring

wanting back the beautiful thing

the joy and comfort that was there

not this subtle disappearing

this gradual fading to air

Dizain



Although the Decastich or Sonnetina is a popular form, this one seems to have become neglected in favour of the others.

This was originally a French form and initially would have been made up of eight syllable lines, but later ten syllable lines were also used. A few examples of this form in England did prefer Iambic Pentameter, but that's purely up to the poet.

The rhyme scheme is: a. b. a. b. b. c. c. d. c. d.
