I'm curious to try out poetic form called doha. It is Hindi in origin and a self-contained (rhyming?) couplet, traditionally spiritual or sensual in nature. Each line is 24 syllables w/ a caesura (break) in between the first 13 syllables and the last 11 syllables. I THINK there's no limit to number of couplets. Confused enough yet? I know I am, so I'd love to see what cleverness Prosers come up with. Let's call it a #loosedoha. Pixie points for anyone who can do a sortha (inverted doha).

(doha)
I wonder, quite often at the existence of God- but, somehow I believe He (or She) exists
Still, while fully believing in a Higher Power- my grief and great misery do so persist
(sortha)
So, with defeat in my eyes and in my heart- I wholeheartedly surrender and bend but don't break
While all evidence suggests religion gone_ the smiles and love from family and friends can't be fake
