Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's Wea've Written Weekly, David invites us to create a Pararhyme Paradox. This is a new form for me. It is created by using words where the consonant sounds in the end words match but the vowels within the word change. He encourages us to use a theme of incompleteness, near-misses, or strained connections. I decided to write a dodoitsu, which is a poetry form with four lines and a syllabication pattern of 7-7-7-5. Here is my try at this form.
someone who will never leave
searches for "more than a friend"
it is never found
