In honest simple verse
OVI: an ancient Indian form of narrative poetry consisting of four-line stanzas with the first three lines rhyming and having eight syllables each. The fourth line does not rhyme and contains less than eight syllables.

Dnyaneshwaar (1275-1296) was the first to use ovi in literature. (Illustration)

Hamas attacked brutally
And Israel ferociously
Retaliated directly
Oh, all those deaths!

People are in stupified shock
Murder, mayhem, and blasts ad hoc
The Gaza Strip, its people are on lock:
No food, water, or power

Hostages are taken by terrorists
Two countries divided through mist
Of smoke, hatred, and cunning list
Of two years of preparation.

Jews and Palestinians go
In murderous embrace, the flow
Of escalation in a row
The world is looking.
