A Monotetra-Each stanza contains four lines
in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight syllables. The last line contains two metrical feet, repeated.

Stanza Structure:

Line 1: 8 syllables; A1
Line 2: 8 syllables; A2
Line 3: 8 syllables; A3
Line 4: 4 syllables, repeated; A4, A4

Invisible girl, she does crave
Everything that this sorrow gave
Lightly skimming through love's white waves
A heart enslaved, a heart enslaved

Sweet, sweet song doth grace her fair ears
Though see how its faint anguish sears
Composed of mellifluous tears
And lover's fears, and lover's fears

Journalized death is her reprieve
Beautiful things, with pen, she weaves
Words that bottle and swift, deceive
Of Hades' eve, of Hades' eve

Makes castles with her lofty dreams
Creased parchment stained with ink, redeemed
Covered in paper art, it seems
You hear her screams, you hear her screams

Indentations on her white hands
From blackened grief and cruel demands
A poet's will, her murder grand
Like torment, stands..like torment, stands

Now listen as the music dies
Performed with delicate demise
Just o'er the sound of broken lies
She softly cries, she softly cries...

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"
