According to Shadowpoetry.com, the Monchielle is developed by Jim T. Henriksen. It is a recent developed form, as on a different website the example he wrote was dated November 7th 2005. A new form to play with - still not an easy one. The guidelines: The poem contains out of 4 stanzas Each stanza has five lines. Every line has six syllables Every first line is repeated and comes back as the first line of all the other stanzas. Line 3 and 5 rhyme, in every stanza. The rhyme scheme: Abcdc Aefgf Ahiji Aklml My example: Down by the riverside Where people love to walk I see a windmill standing Right across an artwork A tiny path is bending Down by the riverside Where people come to rest From everyday life’s stress Staring in the water To ducks… they would care less… Down by the riverside An artist meets nature That’s where I want to be You capture images then walk along with me Down by the riverside I always want to stay Far from that busy town Where people never laugh though here… they never frown.
