His Clemency (Kyrielle Sonnet)

Open your heart unto His grace
For you and me there is a place
He nurtures every soul to grow
God's forgiveness forever flows.

He gave us all a second chance
So many in the devil's trance
His Son He sent to faith bestow
God's forgiveness forever flows.

My God, Your Son you love so much
Releasing sin, my soul to touch
Salvation mine, to You I owe
God's forgiveness forever flows.

Open your heart unto His grace
God's forgiveness forever flows.

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.

    I love the first stanza calling us to grace. I love the tenderness in the line speaking of God nurturing us to grow. The picture of grow by nurturing is gentle and loving.
    The next two stanzas clearly speak the truth of the gospel. The ending two lines are a perfect summary.

    I love the Kyrielle Sonnet and this one is penned in perfection in syllable count and structure. I found this poem to have a soothing flow while it promotes a wonderful statement of faith. I’m sure my co-judge will love it as well. Great work!

    Seems either I or He have been illusive. But in the end I shall know. The heart shall have it's say poet. Always a pleasure.
