Death drives despair

Daddy Dwayne died.

Devoted daughter Dina didn’t.

Daughter Dina drove destruction, drew demotion.

Downgraded, Dina dove deeper.

Down, Down, Down dove Dina.

Despair descended.

Dawn drenched Dina, dew drops dripped.

Dina decided descension divides day, delivers dread.

Dread deposits death.

Daddy Dwayne died,

Dina Didn’t.
