This Shade of Blue contest entry
Since this contest is dedicated to IamCat I decided to go with a Lyricat style poem, which was invented by her. My poem is an ekphrastic (inspired by artwork) poem, as I also learned that term from Cat. :)
Lyricat
Although there is no specific meter, there are very specific syllable counts and rhyme schemes. Each stanza has a count of: 7, 5, 5 , 5, 5, 5, 9, 5
Rhyme scheme: a, b, c, b, d, e, F, e (F lines are repeated in all stanzas and the F line may be slightly modified IF a better poem can be written by doing so) There is a minimum of 3 stanzas.
This one is for you, Cat! :)
