Prompt: WRITE A DELICATE POEM.

Inspiration from Poet's Place:
The Oriental Octet is an invented verse form that appears to emulate the syllabic pattern of the tanka and haiku. It was created by James R. Gray who requests the theme of the poem be nature. The elements of the Oriental Octet are:

*an octastich, a poem in 8 lines.
*syllabic, 5-7-5-7-7-5-7-5 syllables per line.
*unrhymed.
