Terza Rima Day 4. Life.

This Month Kat Myrman has suggested a new theme for the daily poem—the Terza Rima, writing one stanza each day.

This is where the middle of each stanza rhymes with the first and last line of the following stanza. There is no set length to this form, as long as it follows

But I strived to hide my fears

Paint on a smile hide the missing links.
