For Emile Pinet's Monchielle Stanza poetry contest
A Monchielle Stanza is a Norwegian form by Jim T Henriksen and is comprised of four (verses) of 6 syllable lines, with the rhyme pattern of xxAxA - xxBxB - xxCxC - xxDxD, the first line in stanza one is repeated in each stanza as line one.
If it was not for words
there'd be no poetry.
Can a veiled muse survive,
unable to release
poems that make us thrive?
If it was not for words.
Can we cope being mute
when hearts have to suppress
reasons behind sorrows,
teardrops cannot express.
If it was not for words.
There would be no lyrics,
only background soundtracks.
No songs to soothe our souls
or help tired minds relax.
If it was not for words.
How will eyes view nature
when art fails to describe
moon, blooms, angst or romance?
Nothings left to inscribe.
