POEM: Picnic! A Kyrielle
This Kyrielle was created for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge. Michelle and I are looking for Kyrielles about picnics. The format is explained in the intro which can be found on another blog here or at the CPC later today. This was the first one I’ve ever written, and I found it easier than I had expected. The requirements in a nutshell are: at least three four line stanzas, last line of first stanza repeated as the last line of all the others, first and second lines rhyme with each other, third lines of each stanza all rhyme.
The Kyrielle is 4 lines, with 4 stanzas. 8 syllables per line. The last line of each stanza is repeated in the first 3. The last stanza is 2 lines; line 1 is the first line of the first stanza, the 2nd line is the last line in the other stanza’s. Lines 1 and 2 ryhme as do lines 3 and 4. This is an example:
IN THE SHADOWS
Evil lurking in the shadows
Hiding where no one ever knows
We think of fire and brimstone
The voice of what might be unknown
We all hold some darkness inside
Evil is everywhere worldwide
It tries to catch us all alone
The voice of what might be unknown
The trick is to bring it to light
Evil will then give up it’s fight
The shadows give it a backbone
The voice of what might be unknown
Evil lurking in the shadows
The voice of what might be unknown
