NaPoWriMo 26 - An Octelle
A chapter in the book Highlights of Home
X for the Xyst
by Mama Baer
|
We often used our breezeway between the shop and the house to set up the camping stove to do our canning at harvest time.
Thanks to lyenochka for Chapter 229 in her book of words for teaching us the word 'xyst' and to Katherine Kean for suggesting I use it! (In case you missed it, a xyst, pronounced 'zist,' is a covered portico or garden walk lined with trees.)
This poetry form is an Octelle, created by Emily Romano.
The Octelle has eight lines. It uses personification and symbolism in a telling manner.
The syllable count is 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8
The rhyme scheme is aa - bb - cc - aa.
The first two lines and the last two lines are identical.
