In winter's thaw spring bloom is seen,
buds find their way through bitter frost.
Nature's rebirth, her senses keen,
she gives me hope when I feel lost.
My heart is pure and this I know,
she finds true love at any cost.
Showing me love, helping it grow,
she gives me hope when I feel lost.
Warm is her sun shining on me,
golden its rays become embossed.
Unlocking my smile with her key,
she gives me hope when I feel lost.
In winter's thaw spring bloom is seen,
she gives me hope when I feel lost.
Author notes
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.
