The Constanza, created by Connie Marcum Wong, consists of five or more 3-line stanzas. Each line has a set meter of eight syllables. The first lines of all the stanzas can be read successively as an independent poem, while the rest of the poem weaves in to express a deeper meaning. The first lines convey a theme written in mono rhyme, while the second and third lines of each stanza rhyme together. Rhyme scheme: a/b/b, a/c/c, a/d/d, a/e/e, a/f/f.........etc.
Blue edges, an ebony sky,
and cotton-candy clouds blush pink,
for a new day is on the brink.
Where eagles were once seen to fly
morning is filtered through a haze,
a legacy of yesteryears.
A molten sunrise blinds my eye,
dissolving the fringes of night
with a dazzling display of light.
Its grandeur worthy of a sigh
Dawn brings a renewal of hope,
implying the planet can cope.
A simple truth, without a lie,
if we choose not to make a fuss;
wildlife will vanish around us.
Nature's something money can't buy,
no amount can return lost days
yet we ignore what science says.
Blue edges, an ebony sky,
where eagles were once seen to fly.
A molten sunrise blinds my eye,
its grandeur worthy of a sigh.
A simple truth, without a lie,
nature's something money can't buy.
