Heart music on this day is played,
Cupid's arrow flies straight to you.
Melodies soft slowly cascade,
as vows once made we now renew.
Inside our souls as passion burns,
this flame so hot it won't subdue.
A flood of memory returns,
as vows once made we now renew.
Taking my hand whilst on one knee,
you whisper words of love so true.
Eternally we'll always be
as vows once made we now renew.
Heart music on this day is played,
as vows once made we now renew.

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.

I love this! We don’t see enough Kyrielle Sonnets on this site. This poem could easily be on a wonderful Valentine’s Day card. You amaze me each time I visit your page.
Love,
Amera♥

Amera, Thank you again for the applauses and such lovely words of praise to me. When Bella posted this contest I jumped all over it. You are right about the Kyrielle Sonnets. Combining two wonderful forms of love make for some of the greatest love poems written. Think I could sell this to Hallmark? LOL
You are even more amazing. Love you my friend, Joyce

This is some really impressive work here. The form helps to bring the subject back to a glorified form. The word usage masterful in its simplicity, indicating an ability with the language that is above par.
Your work dignifies the subject matter. This is really well done.

Wow, great job at a very 'neat', and rhythmic poem. I dont even know if I spelled that right.. hehe. But your poem was sweet, light, beautiful and a very successful sonnet!
Well done, I really enjoyed it (and congratulations if this is about yourself! )

I love this form of sonnet. It is very difficult with the shorter lines. You have penned a beauty here. Thanks and good luck in the contest.

Allan, Thank you for the applauses and your lovely words of praise to me here. It is difficult with the shorter lines to make the sonnet form. I love both forms and think combining them turns a love poem into a verse even more grand. I'm very happy that you enjoyed this one and thank you for the best wishes also. Love and God bless you my friend, Joyce

I like the Kyrielle style, with the repeated refrain through this piece. Sometimes I find teh 8 syllable rule limiting, but that cannot be changed without changing the style altogether. I like it, really

Karen, Thank you for the lovely words of praise you gave to me here. I do love Kyrielles and sonnets, so to combine the form is even better.
I'm very happy that you enjoyed this one. Love and God bless, Joyce
