Terza Rima
Terza Rima is a verse form composed of iambic tercets (three-line groupings). The rhyme scheme for this form of poetry is "aba bcb cdc, etc." The second line of each tercet sets the rhyme for the following tercet and thus supplying the verse with a common thread, a way to link the stanzas. The only time the form changes is at the conclusion of the poem, where the Terza Rima ends with either a single line or couplet repeating the rhyme of the middle line of the final tercet (like d or dd). There is no limit to the number of lines in Terza Rima.
Some two thousand years ago, hope was born
in a manger when a virgin gave birth,
and a Holy star turned night into morn.
Mary's child was the son of God on Earth
and Her heart overflowed with love and joy,
for Christ offered salvation and rebirth.
She feared His life was not His to enjoy
but her faith let Her trust in the Lord's grace
treasuring the years, Jesus was Her boy.
He spoke of His Father's heavenly place,
yet Jesus sought out sinners to embrace.
