while I am hiding
so called friends chiding
so mad
then I start crying
all hope is dying
so sad
you best be quiet
my words not silent
too bad

Word of the Day Challenge – Hiding
The poetry form, Lai, is a very old French form and tradition states that the short line must not be indented, it must be left dressed to the poem. This is known as Arbre Fourchu (Forked Tree); there is a pattern meant to be set up as a tree.
The number of lines in each stanza is fixed at nine. The number of stanzas is not fixed and each stanza has its own rhyme pattern. The stanza’s rhyme pattern is… a. a. b. a. a. b. a. a. b.
