An interlocking Rubáiyát poem.

An "Interlocking Rubáiyát" is a Rubáiyát where the subsequent stanza rhymes its 1st, 2nd, and 4th lines with the sound at the end of the 3rd line in the stanza before it. In this form, the 3rd line of the final stanza is also rhymed with the 3 rhymed lines in the first stanza. The Rubáiyát" allows an unlimited number of stanzas; the pattern can be extended as needed.

Autumn is reduced to mold as birds prepare for the cold. They know Winter's on Her way, clad in white and feeling bold. Her winds scatter fallen leaves strewn around the barren trees. And rustic browns edged in gold thrash about with each brisk breeze. As night starts to eclipse day, children go inside to play. And when all the flowers die, geese no longer wish to stay. Fledgling birds must learn to fly before snowflakes dust the sky. And thus escape Winter's freeze, flying south till Spring drops by. (Interlocking Rubáiyát) 7/16/2015

Lovely poem, Emile. "And when all the flowers die geese no longer wish to stay." And who can blame them? love your closing with "And thus escape Winter’s freeze flying south till She blows by."
