Puente
A chapter in the book Love of Animals
Metamorphosis
by Bucketlist
|
Jan Turner has written an excellent example of the rhyming Puente with rhyme scheme
aabbcc d ddeeff. (Remember a Puente may also be Free Verse)
Example #4:
Secrets in the Attic
The attic smelled of heat and stale perfume
as she ascended to the rustic room
that held old relics, chests and books from where
the centuries of dust collected there.
An antique desk was beckoning to her,
and in a hidden place where papers were
~she came upon a letter quite perchance~
and so began this eerie happenstance.
For what she read would put her in a trance
that kept her still for most the afternoon:
her great-great-grandfather in a platoon
of secret service had unmasked a coup
that only France could, through his team, undo.

Another variation could have been to rhyme the bridge with the last two lines of stanza 1,
which would follow a rhyme scheme of aabbcc c d,d,e,e,f,f.
