Much
Too deep
Much too fast
You blazed red in
Betrayal’s fury
From
Tears that
blurred the sight
With lust’s white heat
You let yourself fall
So
Cold in
Broken-hearted
Blues of too much
And not enough

As is now tradition for me, I open National Poetry Writing Month with the Arun.
A nonce poem created by friend and fellow blogger, GirlGriot, an Arun is a fifteen-line poem in three sets of five lines. Each set of five lines follows the same syllable structure: starting with one syllable and increasing by one syllable with each line. 1/2/3/4/5 — 3x. There are no other rhyme or structural requirements. Today, I follow the pattern she’s set, left aligned and un-rhymed. As always, I will take a little poetic license, in future runs of the form.

I love this form (and the folks writing it). I’ll have to give this a go!
Yes, please do!
I’m so happy to click over and find you’ve written an arun! Thank you for keeping my little form alive!
What? It’s your fault. Though I’m sure I would have discovered it eventually, I found out about NaPoWriMo online from following you. I try to write at least one each April in your honor.
