Dusk In the Mara

Hello Garald, this form is like the reversed -Etheree- the first line having one syllable, each succeeding line adding a syllable, with the total syllable count being fifty-five, or something like that.. like i said almost... love it by the way :-) SKAT

Thank you Skat-OZ for the education- and for visiting often. If I can, by a stroke of genius, pen another one in the genre, I'll be sure to categorize as Etheree.

Serengeti Shall Not Die... Nor The Masai Mara. I come from Kenya so I relate fairly well. Do read some more Shadow. I visit yours occasionally. Thanks. Asante sana!
