****A four square poem consists of four verses comprised of four lines, where each line is expressed with just one word.****
The progression is powerful. Speaks volumes, especially those familiar with such scenarios.
You really are a maestro of the poetic form! I agree with the earlier comment made here – the progression of these words is incredibly powerful; you draw us through this gradually crumbling, dangerously dysfunctional relationship with words which echo, rhyme (and almost rhyme – which is really disconcerting) and virtually implode at the end. Fabulous writing.
