A Reflective Kyrielle
The Kyrielle
:
Only Melting Snow Remains

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.

Author Notes
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.
