The sweetest voice in poetry
works formal words succinctly,
as scribed from empty canvas start,
when penciled from beloved heart.
With swells of thoughts and feelings too,
she writes abundantly and true.
I know her quill won't soon depart
when penciled from beloved heart.
Where Frost is quoted on her page,
and confidence of will her sage.
How blessed she is to hold this art,
when penciled from beloved heart.
As poets from the days of yore
embarking on a time before.
She ne'er puts horse before the cart
when penciled from beloved heart.
Author notes
Happy Anniversary Amera. You are indeed the Queen of Form Poetry!
Form: Kyrielle
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. 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.
The Rhyme scheme for my Kyrielle:
aabB, ccbB, ddbB, eebB
(with B as the refrain line)
