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 is on its way,
my most favorite sight 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.
It's a seasonal bouquet
and a splendiferous jewel,
a time for change and renewal.
Orange 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 is on its way,
I feel just like a child at play.
It's a seasonal bouquet,
orange tones with gold inlay.
I wish all these colors could stay
to hold winter flurries at bay.
