Pink Sunsets

In pink sunsets on rocky shore,
troubles washed away with ebb tide.
Holding you close forever more,
you'll always be my loving bride.

Two souls united we've become,
our love will ne'er be denied.
Making my heart beat like a drum,
you'll always be my loving bride.

The passion felt in kisses soft,
explode when galaxies collide.
And as your sweet scent to me wafts,
you'll always be my loving bride.

In pink sunsets on rocky shore
you'll always be my loving bride.

Picture inspiration from the original contest.

Kyrielle Sonnet

A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme
for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be: AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.

    Wonderfully done

    I m one that loves good, GOOD, rhyme in poetry,that flows with the ease of the blood in our veins, and this did just that. Then I got to the end and seems something was forgotten, like two lines and I thought what a shame, it was going so beautifully. Then I saw of course the explanation of the form..and in that reffirmed my first opinion that this was a lovely work, well done,

    Evan

    A very well written piece of poetry. I love the fact that the poem expresses so much love and hope, that sort of thig is lacking these days. I am learning so much from fellow poets on AP, including about different structures and ways of writing. Thank you for sharing beautiful words and some knowledge.
