Kyrielle Construction

by Tom Horonzy

When contractors stud a building
they find two by fours fulfilling
while framing a house completely,
similar to a kyrielle.

Save it to be in poetry
writers draft eight by fours to read
following rules positively,
similar to a kyrielle.

Required stanzas? Two or more.
Repeating lines, they used before
while doing so competently,
similar to a kyrielle.

On and on does the author write
black ink on paper shaded white
words that often seem unseemly,
similar to a kyrielle.

Writing Prompt
A kyrielle is made of quatrains that rhyme. Each stanza (that is a quatrain) has a line that repeats, so a line from a previous stanza. That line usually (but does not necessarily have to) be the last line in the stanza. Each line in the poem has eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas. Usually there are three or more stanzas. Any type of rhyme scheme can be used. More information and an example.


... than never to have loved at all.
Similar to trying to write a kyrielle.
So, I think. "I did it, Adrianne."
