A Terzanelle, see foot note
Mermaid queen
by robina1978
Between reality and a sweet dreamI dive in the waves, a vision sereneSwimming freely in a sunlit sea scheme Engulfed with marine life, troubles unseen Floating effortlessly on the jet stream I dive in the waves, a vision serene The sea is magical, beauty supreme Enchanting colors bedazzle blue-green Floating effortlessly on the Gulf stream The waters breed life in a brilliant sheen Gently caressed by the ocean's warm gleam Enchanting colors bedazzle blue-green In coral and caves, unknown life forms beam Aquatic beauty untouched and pristine Gently caressed by the ocean's warm gleam To never surface, a true mermaid queen Between reality and a sweet dream Aquatic beauty untouched and pristine Swimming freely in a sunlit sea scheme |

The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the
terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets
plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear
as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line
of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last
stanza which appears in the quatrain. The rhyme and refrain scheme for the triplets
is as follows: ABC, bCB,cDC,dED,eFE,fAFA or fFAA.
Each line should be the same metrical length.
