Sometimes my mood can be overcast
I really cannot say exactly why
Perhaps my thoughts turn to the past
When that happens I smile and sigh.
My mood is often like the wind
I wait and it changes by and by
My mood is subject to a whim
When that happens I smile and sigh.
I can’t see that it makes any sense
I soon welcome back the Clear Skies.
I return to the present tense
When that happens I smile and sigh.

This is a style of poetry called a Kyrielle It is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.
Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB,

You certainly have a grasp of a wide range of poetic forms. Most interesting. Poetry in any form doesn't come easy to me, I find better expression through photography.

It's a keeper...I like it! :-)
ReplyDeleteInsightful poem. I think when folks start growing older that they tend to dwell on the past more because they have already done a lot of living, and sometimes lose a sense of purpose for the present and the future if they do not have someone or something to live for.
ReplyDeleteExcellent write, made me think
ReplyDeleteAn interesting poetry form and it looks like the clouds are clearing - couldn't be better
