Constanza
The Constanza created by Connie Marcum Wong consists of five or more 3-line stanzas. Each line has eight syllables. All the first lines of all the stanzas form an independent poem as the rest of the poem expresses a deeper meaning. The first lines are in monorhyme 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. And the end verse is made up of the first lines of all the previous verses combined.

Hooray! Autumn's on full display; my favorite season of all is the grand pageantry of Fall. I feel just like a child at play, trading my tee-shirt for long-sleeves and jumping in piles of dry leaves. Fall is a seasonal bouquet and a splendiferous jewel, a time for change and renewal. Orangey tones with gold inlay make up the scattered leaf debris, falling from every bush and tree. I wish all these colors could stay perhaps extend Fall just a bit, I love the sound and feel of it. Holding Winter flurries at bay Autumn takes on an earthy smell, derived from all the leaves that fell. Hooray! Autumn's on full display, I feel just like a child at play. Fall is a seasonal bouquet; orangey tones with gold inlay. I wish all these colors could stay, holding Winter flurries at bay.
