Surrounded,
here I stand, astounded,
wandering beneath a ghostly light.

Weaving between trees, guided through the dark of night,
path forgotten, along this trail they've taken flight,
I alone am compelled to follow.

too awed to wallow...
it's hollow.


Written for :iconprojectdfc:'s Octoacula!

The form:  Trois-par-Huit or Three by Eight.  The Trois-par-Huit or Three by Eight was created by Lorraine M Kanter and consists of three stanzas totaling 8 lines. The orientation can either be 3, 3, 2 OR 3, 2, 3. The syllabic count builds and then shrinks (3, 6, 9, 12, 12, 9, 6, 3). It is meant to be centred on the page. The last line is the title of the poem and summarises the content of the poem. The rhyme scheme is: aab, bbc, cc OR aab, bb, ccc.


This one is inspired by the work of :iconamorphisss:   Forgotten Path by amorphisss

Hope you enjoy!
