Oubliette

Oubliette is a poem about two delicious creatures - an orange and a candy cane, who sadly cannot see their own deliciousness. An oubliette is a dungeon from which there is no escape and this concept is what they experience as they focus not on their positive qualities, but, instead, on what they perceive as their own 'prisons'.


    There are six stanzas of four lines each. every two lines rhyme, each line is 8 syllables. 


    While the structure of six stanzas has been maintained as six chapter breaks, each stanza has had its lines split-apart in order to preserve the intent (the pacing) of each line, and thus each line may be given its own page; there may be instances, however, where managing the evolution of the poem in your mind, some lines have been split into multiple pages, or, multiple lines of a stanza remain on the same page (making it so a chapter is not necessarily equal to the count of lines of a stanza).
