A Reflective Kyrielle
A chapter in the book The Kyrielle
Only Melting Snow Remains
by adewpearl
I've memories of contoured drifts and sculptures formed by freezing rains, of glassy ponds reflecting trees -- now only melting snow remains. I've memories of cocoa sipped as crystals formed on window panes, of cuddling by a blazing fire -- now only melting snow remains. Some memories will warm the soul while others trap us in their chains. Once winter chiseled sparkling art -- now only melting snow remains. |

The kyrielle is a poem in quatrains that has a refrain line as the final line in each verse, with a minimum of three verses. The meter is iambic tetrameter - 8 syllables per line. The rhyme scheme is optional - here I've used abcb dbeb fbgb.
