Notes About The Poem

For Joseph May's 'Any Theme - 5 Lines' Contest

A Quintella On Quintella

Eight syllables per line's the way,
so to use the Quintella’s form
in five lines to which I conform,
I’ll rhyme with a b b a a.
This Spanish form is A-okay!

Andrea, you are incredible! Quintilla about Quintilla is excellent. Witty and enticing phrases jump off the page. Your beautiful line weaving is like a dance. Your skill shines through every word—you'll win the contest.
