Tail-Rhyme
A Tail-Rhyme (also known as a tailed rhyme) has a specific structure. The piece starts with a couplet or a triplet of rhymed lines. This set of couplets or triplets is followed by a "tail," which does not rhyme with the couplet or triplet that preceded it. The tail line is shorter (approx. half) the length of the couplet or triplet lines.
"recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, like breezes blown ..."
Quote by_ Samuel Taylor Coleridge (from his writings)
Memories store moments in time
from devastating to sublime
replayed in silent pantomime,
only I see.
I see myself leaning to crawl
and smile when I'd stumble and fall
banging my head upon the wall,
as a toddler.
I sometimes recall hurtful things
like beatings or bumblebee stings
that draw tears, tugging my heartstrings,
from shadows past.
But I prefer snapshots of joy,
like when I was a little boy
and Santa Clause brought a new toy,
on Christmas Eve.
I’d shimmy up trees way back then
before I joined the world of men,
when I was maybe nine or ten
that was my thing.
A storehouse of hyperbole,
memories store reality.
(Tail-Rhyme)
