The kyrielle format
\n(quoting from the “Friday Fling”):<\/font>
\n<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum. Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.<\/span><\/font>
\n<\/font>
\n<\/font>Mixing up the rhyme scheme is possible for an unusual pattern of: axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ, etc.<\/span><\/font>
\n<\/font>with Z being the repeated line.<\/span><\/font>
\n<\/font>
\n<\/font>The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n


\n*************
\n<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

As form-challenged as I tend to be,
\nand, besides, the letters\/stanzas look
\ntoo much like algebra to me,
\nI went with aabB, ccbB, ddbB, eebB
\nwith B being the repeating line.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Four lines per stanza and eight syllables per line.<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Such fun . . . .<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Thanks always for your smiles and comments<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
