The Secrets of the World
by adewpearl
|
The secrets of the world are found in mighty oak and minute seed, in springs that bubble from the ground to oceans where their waters lead. The beauty of Creation lies in ladybugs and spacious skies. Look up to see it in Orion, or stoop to pick one dandelion. |

The rispetto is an eight line poem of Italian origin, written in iambic tetrameter. The first quatrain has a rhyme scheme of abab and the second switches the rhyming pattern to couplets of ccdd. In my poem, the final two lines are 9 syllables each but do not break the meter.
