For Soul It Sings

Missing image

 

 

 

Where spirits walk with mournful cry
lone flies the Devil's butterfly
in summons deep its death knell rings
through graveyard mists with blackened wings.

So silently this haunting flight
that cuts the dark and brooding night
for soul it craves, for soul it sings
through graveyard mists with blackened wings.

On nectar blood such darkness flown
borne breeze of hell, dread Satan blown
to mournful song its darkness clings
through graveyard mists with blackened wings.

In coffin lain your body cold
this day as farewell passing told
regret you will the song it brings
through graveyard mists with blackened wings.

Form # 2

Kyrielle

A Kyrielle is a rhyming poem written in quatrains ( a stanza consisting of 4 lines) and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase (Usually appearing as the last line of each stanza.)

Each line consists of only 8 syllables. The Rhyme scheme I am asking for is:
aabB, ccbB, ddbB. ( B being the repeated line)

There is no limit on stanzas in this form although the minimum is 3

    Beautiful..

    Not only is the form perfect but the piece is perfect as well. I was really drawn into your poetry, although dark as it was it was intriguing. You did the Kyrielle form great justice. The imagery and the metaphor was awesome!
