There Is An Elephant In the Room

The big headlines cause sensation, Media’s chosen information. Manipulative, they entomb the big elephant in the room. Stress is put on the suggestive keeping tongue and the mind active. They sweep aside with furtive broom the big elephant in the room. Gain is high on the agenda grabbing votes in referenda. They hide, on purpose, I presume the big elephant in the room. Many topics are selective; they are made to look attractive. Who dares to tickle with a plume the big elephant in the room? --------------------------------------- A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains, each containing a repeating line at the end of each stanza. Each line within the poem consists of 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. This form is a pleasure to use because of its rhyming scheme and the strong pivotal line on which the whole poem rotates. --------------------------------------- Premiere Contest No. 13 Sponsor: Skat A (2016) Contest: Poetry Writing #1 Sponsor: Broken Wings Placed 1st 15th December 2015
