Day 4 : Prompt : Write a sad poem,one that, achieves sadness through simplicity. Playing with the sonnet form may help – its very compactness can compel you to be straightforward, using plain, small
words.
I have managed to write a poem in 14 lines, but I have not adhered to any rhyme scheme.
Adieu

Adieu
She lay serene, Decked in bridal
finery

Eyes closed in mortal sleep
Yesterday she is and today she was
The soggy air mingled with the
Fragrance of wasted blossoms
One by one they walked in
Smudged eyes on lost faces
Silent whispers and pungent sighs
Hollow sounds of solace
Bouncing across nowhere
One by one they walked away
With languorous steps
Leaving him and his daughters
Lone in their burden of grief…
