Hey there!
I wrote a Kyrielle for today’s post. This poetic form should be written in Iambic Tetrameters (eight syllables, four ‘feet’: da DUM-da DUM-da DUM-da DUM) and be at least three stanzas long. Wikipedia says there are a few accepted rhyming schemes, but each stanza should have a refrain as the fourth line. I went with the
aabB
ccbB etc.
scheme (where the capital B highlights the refrain, and the third line always rhymes with it)
Make sense?!
Off we jolly well, then:
Hello? Hello?! Can you hear me…?
The light’s too dim for me to see…
I falter, numb, full-on distrust:
The hopelessness is not discussed.
I wander lonely (self imposed),
Struggle to keep myself composed;
Kind-hearted (though I can’t be fussed)
The hopelessness is not discussed.
These words on the defeatist side?
Mere hints at overwhelm I hide.
“Just turn your ‘shoulds’ all into ‘musts’!”
The hopelessness is not discussed.
I welcome those whose drunken tongue
Alights on truths I’ve often spun!
Sober, they spurn them in disgust:
The hopelessness is not discussed.
