All Fairies dance on moonlit night
Catch a glimpse, it's a mighty sight
They dip and swirl without a care
Throughout the forest's frosty air.
Animals move along the path
Silent so to avoid the wrath
Predators creeping from their lair
Throughout the forest's frosty air.
Eerie mist covers up the moon
Across the lake calls lonely loon
Ancient night settles down so fair
Throughout the forest's frosty air.

Kyrielle 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 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, dbdB. Mixing up the rhyme scheme is possible for an unusual pattern of: axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ, etc. with Z being the repeated line. The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet.
