A nightmarish tale of pies you could not partake

A Pie Tale

by JLR

In the land some call Make Believe
the fairy said, "pies never leave."
Pies were handmade, perfectly baked.
but of those pies they'd nev'r partake.

Leprechauns danced a jig and pranced
every pie, they merrily glanced.
Peach, Cherry, and Apple they'd ache
but of those pies they'd nev'r partake.

Offer'd Apple Pie a la mode,
strangers along the curvy road.
Fairies flitted with silver plate,
but of those pies they'd nev'r partake.

In the land some call Make Believe,
but of those pies they'd nev'r partake.

Pix This challenge: Pies

Poetic format;Kyrielle Sonnet
A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be: AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
