Terzanelle



Triplets five, one quatrain,
Together, nineteen lines,
twined interweavingly,
thus repeating lines; rhymed
tactfully, precisely,
The rhyme scheme's like a chain;
Tough to compose, but fun.

Those repeating lines are killer Jo. You did so well at describing this challenging form. I have only written one in the 10 years I have been here called Angels. It was so difficult that I never wrote another. Are you fond of this form? I hope this poem is a winner for you my friend. Blessings xxoo

Nice job on the constraints within the pleiades format and instructional about the lovely Terzanelle form. I love the line "twined interweavingly"... makes me think of braided hair. Blessings on your day, my friend. Please keep writing ~ John
