[The Constanza, created by Connie Marcum Wong, consists of five or more 3-line stanzas. Lines have a set meter of eight syllables. The first lines of all the stanzas can be read successively as an independent poem, with the rest of the poem weaved in to express a deeper meaning. The first lines convey a theme written in monorhyme, while the second and third lines of each stanza rhyme. Rhyme scheme: a/b/b, a/c/c, a/d/d, a/e/e, a/f/f, etc.]
Comfort, some say, a cup of joe,
Coming to breakfast still yawning
Mornings’ pleasures the day dawning.
A restful sleep, ready to go,
Planning my work, include some play,
Eager to face another day.
I find my car covered with snow,
A clear downer as one can see
Leaving me with an urge to flee.
Seems now my day is starting slow,
Someone has borrowed my scraper
I dislike this thoughtless caper.
Wind blast causes my face to glow,
Or, is it the flush of anger?
I become the local strangler!
Comfort, some say, a cup of joe,
A restful sleep, ready to go,
I find my car covered with snow,
Seems now my day is starting slow,
Wind blast causes my face to glow.
