White: A Wayra

They say we’re yin yang.
I had a white, pristine life,
while yours is the blackest black.
But then what are colors,
when it comes to world of love?

The Wayra (Quechua – wind ) is a popular verse form of Peru and Bolivia. It appears it originated in an indigenous Quechua language but has found its way into Spanish literature. It is a short syllabic verse form found at Vole Central and some other sites around the internet.

The Wayra is:

• a pentastich, a poem in 5 lines.
• syllabic, 5-7-7-6-8
• unrhymed.
