Sharing the Planet by June Sargent
Write a Kyrielle writing prompt entry

Just look around and you will see
abundant proof that earth could be
the paradise for which you yearn.
From nature's harmony let's learn.

Serenity from dawn til night
surrounds the lake as birds take flight
to soar 'bove clouds without concern.
From nature's harmony let's learn.

Beneath the lotus koi fish play
by blowing bubbles as they spray
the old bullfrog next to the fern.
From nature's harmony let's learn.

In flower garden bumblebees
will share the nectar with such ease
with butterflies who wait their turn.
From nature's harmony let's learn.


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.
