Monchielle Stanza
Comprised of four stanzas (verses) of 6 syllable lines, with the rhyme pattern of
xxAxA xxBxB xxCxC xxDxD , and the first line in stanza one, is repeated
in each stanza as line one.

Today is a dank day veiling a sullen sun; cloudy and overcast with shifting shadows as breezes blow hard and fast. Today is a dank day, dribbling droplets of rain water a thirsty earth; nurturing Nature and hastening Spring's rebirth. Today is a dank day melting white into green, dabbing it on the trees; and promoting sprouting, the soil starts to unfreeze. Today is a dank day, drizzling April showers; yet, it's a sign that Spring is indeed on Her way; to teach songbirds to sing.

This is SO creative, Emile. I am feeling kind of bad now reading the poems on my list again and thinking, hmm, maybe I should have just done four placements instead of five because I'm noticing many of my fourth placed ones were pretty much as great as the other third place winners!!! Congrats and thanks so much for my win in your wonderful recently judged contest.

Stunningly well-done, my friend. I'm so happy to see your post, considering recent events. I see this at the top of the list, indeed! I hesitate to tell you this, but it was approaching 90 degrees here in Kentucky today with a beautiful clear blue sky.
