Sample The Prince Who Would Become His King There was a boy who had been abused In early life he was not amused He died continuing to survive This abyss soiling his angels wings This abyss soiling his angel wings All through his mandhood he tries to thrive Thought the g-ds upstairs sure were bemused In his creation he was confused In his creation he was confused His temple daily was blue and bruised All his existence was daily strides The prince who would become his king The prince who whould become his king Danced through life doing a jig and jive No longer feeling his temple used There was a boy who had been abused Gregg Rowe May 03, 2006 Four stanzas Four lines each Can be extended following a subsequent rhyme scheme, but remember that your last line has to be the first line of your poem. The rhyme scheme and repeating lines are as follows: a b c d d (Last line of first stanza repeats here) c1 (Follows the rhyme scheme of c) b1 (Follows the rhyme scheme of b) a1 (Follows the rhyme scheme of a) a1 (Last line of second stanza gets repeated here) b2 (Follows the rhyme scheme of b) c2 (Follows the rhyme scheme of c) d2 (Follows the rhyme scheme of d) d2 (Last line of the third stanza gets repeated here) c3 (Follows the rhyme scheme of c) b3 (Follows the rhyme scheme of b) a (First line of first stanza gets repeated here) This form allows a patterned and structured rhyme scheme as well as 'crowning the poem' by closing the poem with the opening line. Repetition is important here along with a structured meter to give the flow of a song and create that circular feeling. |
