Blossom’s Hue
White, pure
white is the blossom’s hue
Nature’s
beauty enjoyed by few
Born each
spring a gift to us all
Carries one
through until the fall
Butterflies
flutter in the sky
Searching
for nectar as they fly
Joy in
their tiny beings small
Carries one
through until the fall
Birds
settle in created nests
Wait for
chirps from under their breasts
A spring
day beautiful to all
Carries one
through until the fall
White, pure
white is the blossom’s hue
Carries one
through until the fall
- Rhoda Galgiani
A Kyrielle Sonnet
consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanza
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...rg
