A Kyrielle Sonnet
On a Clear Day?
by Dawn of Tomorrow
|
When chilling breezes brush the trees
and frosty mornings wilt the leaves, beguiling, winter's fingers tease. The lulling summer sun will grieve as detrimental winds appear, disrupting what this star believed a perfect day for skies to clear. The lulling summer sun will grieve, when time refuses to concede, as icy droplets now deceive a startled star that lost the lead. The lulling summer sun will grieve when chilling breezes brush the trees; the lulling summer sun will grieve. |

A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas 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.
I of course have a tendency to use slant rhymes and near rhymes in my poetry so, I plead forgiveness now.
