A LyriCat Poem
A chapter in the book Little Poems
Outdoor Libraries
by Treischel
|
Outdoor lending libraries are starting to pop up all over. There are some now on neighborhood boulevards. I found this one at a campground. I love the concept of sharing with your neighbors the knowledge in books. It beats just storing them in a dusty basement bookcase.
This poem is a LyriCat.
Congratulations are due for a newly invented verse form by I am Cat, a fellow FanStorian, which she calls a LyriCat (See 'Refreshing My Soul', posted on 29 October).
A LyriCat has a syllable count of:
7, 5, 5 , 5, 5, 5, 9, 5,
and the rhyme scheme of each individual stanza is:
a, b, c, b, d, e, F, e.
No set rhythm is prescribed. It has a 3 stanza minimum and the 9 syllable line (F) in each stanza is a repeating line.
