Nature’s song is never ending. (Form: Kyrielle) |
Seasonal Symphony The snow falls with a gentle sigh. Its music is a soft goodbye whispered on a scale descending. Nature's song is never-ending. The tempo picks up in rebirth with the blossoming of the earth warmed by the sun, now ascending. Nature's song is never-ending. In concordance, a joyous flow, life continues, in crescendo, though fallow times are impending. Nature's song is never-ending. Spiraling down, the notes cascade like fading echoes o'er the glade, gently, toward a final rending. Nature's song is never-ending. In harmony, the different parts continue, and as each one starts, others fade in quiet blending. Nature's song is never-ending. Notes A entry for "Invalid Item" Prompt: "Winter dies into the spring, to be born again in the autumn." ~ Marche Blumenberg ~ Form: A Kyrielle 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 number of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum. The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet. Thank you for your gift of time. Please, if you're going to rate this, leave a comment. Come to think of it - as long as you're here, leave a comment .
