Excellent The waiting game.... A Poetic Pause : Tides of Copper by Lea Tonin1 Kyrielle poetry writing prompt entry

Heated summer the sand bar sings, in pools of warmth, the crabs glee brings, Dancing diamonds green sea offers, while she waits in tides of copper.    Sun quivers on the horizon, hangs before the collide risin'.  Darkness creeps approaches proper,  while she waits in tides of copper.     Golden orb creeping down she weeps, knowing now ther'll be no retreat.  Blood is all that flows in coffers, while she waits in tides of copper. Writing Prompt Kyrielle is a french form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines).

There is no iimit to the amount of stanzas a kyrielle may have but for the purpose of this contest there are three. Popular rhyming schemes are aabB, ccbB, ddbB with B being the repeated line. There is also another popular one abaB, cbcB, dbdB. Example: Some days I sing, some days I cry. My soul's the one determines why. Sometimes it laughs, sometime it mourns. On my bouquet are many thorns. Wake up each day, face a dqrk cloud. My happiness wrapped in a shroud. The day begins, to me it scorns. On my bouquet are many thorns. Lay down my head, dark nights begun. With the sad setting of the sun. From all my sorrows mycheart mourns. On my bouquet are many thorns. Author Notes Photo - Glitter Master
