Lord Claymore's Contraption: A Decuain
Lord Claymore's Contraption:
My first attempt at Steampunk

I have to say that I was terrified,
The day that I saw that contraption land,
I did not think a sane mind could abide,
The gruesome thing built by mad Claymore's hand,
I thought to bury it in desert sand,
Until its voice spoke like echoing bells,
I threw out the destruction that I planned,
I could not bury such exquisite knells,
I agreed to become Lord Claymore's bride,
If he renamed it Lady Claymore's Hyde.

Line Count: 10
Form: Decuain = 10-line iambic pentameter poem with a choice of 3 rhyme schemes (1) a b a bb c b c a a, (2) a b a bb c b c b b, and (3) a b a bb c b c c c.
