Yesterday's Declining Background (Tetrameter Version)

Looking over estranged shoulders

Ruin remains after today's

Heaven caved in within seconds

Realities grip beckoned clouds

Of memorable smoke lost in

The rubble were close female friends

Hope and Grace tailored to embrace

Their near future's wake persuaded

A caring foreground for what was

Yet too come before witnessing

Their deaths amidst a chaotic

Yesterday's Declining Background

Author's Note

A short story theme type of poem, each line is 8 syllables or four metrical feet - in poetry terms that's two syllables per foot. That's what the (tetrameter means). All reviews welcome, thanks for stopping by and enjoy. :)
