Alouette
Created by Jan Turner, the form consists of any number of stanzas of 6 lines each, with the following rhyme scheme: a, a, b, c, c, b
Syllable count: 5, 5, 7, 5, 5, 7

Spring is in the air I feel it; I swear! A gentle touch softly felt; nature is waking and Winter's breaking, as snow and ice start to melt. Geese are flocking north as Spring calls them forth. And songbirds are on their way; followed by pink blooms as trees don costumes, and flowers form Spring's bouquet. Dandelions grow wherever winds blow. Weaving carpets of yellow atop fields of green; imbuing a scene that's mellow as a cello. When Winter winds stray Sol's light stretches day, and color springs back to life. Hope is everywhere and love takes a dare, in fields of purple loosestrife.
