Quintain/Sicilian
A Quintain (Sicilian) poem rhymes the end of the first line with the last words in the third and fifth lines. The last word of the second line rhymes with the ending of the fourth line, giving this style of poem a unique rhythm of a,b,a,b,a. There are no rules regarding meter or line length.
I recall the moment I first met you,
my heart practically jumped from my chest.
For, at that magical moment, I knew
that you were different from all the rest,
and I smiled when your smile came into view.
Time stopped, locking that feeling forever
in the memory of my heart and soul.
There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever
that I was broken, yet you made me whole,
a bond that even death cannot sever.
Love can be traced to that moment in time;
that epitome of a happy thought.
You gave me your heart, as I gave you mine,
and doubt was replaced by the joy love brought;
for even belated hope tastes sublime.
Tethered to that moment, reality
and fantasy intertwine in my mind.
And I liken our first meeting to be
like regaining sight after being blind,
and slowly realizing I can see.
