A Minute Poen with closing couplet
A chapter in the book Family
Sing Song
by Treischel
Sing Song
(A Sonnet in Minute Poem) Just listen as birds sweetly sing. A lovely thing, A chirp, a peep, So smooth, so deep! Then choirs match their voices well. The rhythms swell, A lovely blend To God they send. My voice is not as beautiful. It's rather dull, A croak, a howl, And sometimes foul! It's often mistaken for monkey's cry. I don't know why! But, at least I do try! |
Just a bit of self-deprication humor. I'm not that bad. Really!
Thought I'd try a Minute Poem, but added a closing couplet, making it a Sonnet.
The Minute Poem is a poem that follows the "8,4,4,4" syllable count structure. It usually has 3 stanzas that are exactly the same. So: 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables.
A traditional Minute Poem has 12 lines total. It has 60 syllables. It is written in a strict iambic meter. The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabb, ccdd, eeff.
With the closing couplet I added, this poem has three iambic meters. The 8 count lines are in iambic tetrameter. The 4 count lines are in iambic dimeter. The rhyming closing couplet is in iambic pentameter.
By adding the closing couplet, I now have a 14 line Sonnet.
The picture is from Microsoft ClipArt. The poem origanally read "feline cry", but when I found this picture, I changed the line.
