Rictameter

So...

I wrote a poem.  I was "inspired" by a website I frequent.  It was talking about a form of poetry called Rictameter.  Basically it's set up based on syllables.  Like this:

2
4
6
8
10
8
6
4
2

With the first and last line being the same.

The "prompt" was "darkness".  So, here's what I came up with:

Granddad

Darkness.
Night skies. Cold air.
Surrounded by loved ones.
Each of us lost in our own thoughts.
The main emotion: Hate. Hate for just one.
Good riddance, dirty, old, bastard.
Memories of him now
fade away to
darkness.

Hmm.  Oh well.

Night.
