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, and 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. The end verse is made up of the first lines of all the previous verses combined.
After a long, exhausting day,
I get anxious at quitting time,
smiling without reason or rhyme.
My boss keeps begging me to stay
to work an extra shift each night;
but I refuse, try as he might.
And I always say there's no way;
it may sound stupid or funny,
but I'm not a slave to money.
Life offers so much more than pay;
like Cinderella at the ball,
I've no time to sample it all.
My inner child wants out to play;
so before it changes its mind,
I look to see what we can find.
After a long, exhausting day,
my boss keeps begging me to stay.
And I always say there's no way;
life offers so much more than pay,
my inner child wants out to play.
