When Anger Plagues the Heart

When anger plagues the heart it seems The words we say hurt so much more. Tempers may fly, break at the seams, As we try to even the score. When anger plagues the heart it seems We forget the good times we had. We dump the joys, the hopes, and dreams, And just magnify all the bad. When anger plagues the heart it seems We tend to inflict useless pain. But after the fight, some light beams Just like the sun shines after rain. Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~02.16.16 A kyrielle is made of quatrains that rhyme. Each stanza (that is a quatrain) has a line that repeats, so a line from a previous stanza. That line usually (but does not necessarily have to) be the last line in the stanza. Each line in the poem has eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas. Usually there are three or more stanzas. Any type of rhyme scheme can be used.
