poem 21

to give up, is easy
the river takes its course - up to down
takes along many things with it
things that have surrendered
their will to reverse
the direction of
the flow the mighty element
to traverse in the opposite direction
to strive relentless and
to never give up

I have no idea if this can be called a form. But this style is inspired by Kavi Samrat Upendra Bhanja (oriya poet of seventeenth century)who wrote kavyas (long poetries) with each line starting with one letter such as the Baideheesha Bilasha(with"Ba" initial for each line).
