A chapter in the book The Kyrielle

Refreshing Rain

by adewpearl



When roses languishing from heat
regain their blush from quenching rain,
when death is dealt such sweet defeat
I lift my voice in glad refrain.

When farmers' fields revitalize
so life for all can be sustained
with crops that feed and appetize,
I lift my voice in glad refrain.

When rainbows reach with dazzling arch
across God's green, refreshed domain,
and moistened soil's no longer parched,
I lift my voice in glad refrain.





Recognized


A kyrielle is a poem in 8 syllable quatrains with a refrain line at the end of each verse. Any regular rhyme scheme may be used; in this piece I've used abab, cbcb, dbdb.
