Roosters crow at the break of dawn
Reminding me that life goes on
A new day starts before sunrise
Before the sleep has left my eyes
Rise and shine and start a new day
There’s hogs to feed and cows to hay
So much to do it’s no surprise
A new day starts before sunrise
The fields are ripe and need tending
Fences down that need some mending
A new day starts before sunrise
The noontime sun brings sweat filled eyes
When evening shadows dim the day
I put my boots and plow away
Then wash the sweat from my tired eyes
A new day starts before sunrise
Soundly I sleep because I know
At four o'clock the roosters crow
I will brush the sleep from my eyes
A new day starts before sunrise

| Writing Prompt |
A kyrielle is made of quatrains that rhyme. Each stanza (that is a quatrain) has a line that repeats, so a line from a previous stanza. That line usually (but does not necessarily have to) be the last line in the stanza. Each line in the poem has eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas. Usually there are three or more stanzas. Any type of rhyme scheme can be used. More information and an example. |
