Septem Versus 4

This is a new style of poetry I developed, called "Septem Versus".

Sleep doth elude me

Shadows I doth see

I stare at the night

'Tis my only sight,

I shan't fear the dark;

I shan't feel fright.

This doth be my mark.

Author's Note

I created this new style of poetry when I was thinking about sonnets and how the 10 syllables and 14 lines are supposed to create a square. So I decided to try out 7 lines with 5 syllables with the rhyme scheme A-A-B-B-C-B-C. I call it "Septem Versus" because that means seven lines in latin.
