Arrogance (Lento)

Conceited, a word that describes you.
Defeated is how you make me feel.
Repeated pleas do no good, it's true.
Treated with silence that's all to real.

Lies roll off your tongue without concern.
Disguise a subterfuge, sugar coated voice.
Surprise, they are easy to discern.
Goodbyes are in order, it's my choice.

Lento
A poetic form created by Lencio Dominic Rodrigues, the Lento is named after it's creator,
taken from his first name Lencio and rhymed to Cento, an existing form of poetry.

A Lento consists of two quatrains with a fixed rhyme scheme of abcb, defe as the second
and forth lines of each stanza must rhyme. To take it a step further, but not required, try
rhyming the first and third lines as well as the second and forth lines of each stanza in this
rhyming pattern: abab, cdcd. The fun part of this poem is thrown in here as all the FIRST
words of each verse should rhyme. There is no fixed syllable structure to the Lento, but
keeping a good, flowing rhythm is recommended.

For an added challenge, one may write a four-verse Lento and call it a Double Lento, or a
six-versed Lento to become a Triple Lento.
