a kyrielle sonnet

___________________________________________________________________________

Pennies, dimes; silver dollars rare are flung into cool water where passers-by for a while have stayed Do dreams from fountains now cascade? Since some who come are well aware when tossing coins into the air forgotten oft are wishes made, can dreams of theirs from founts cascade? But strangers who are in despair will wish a silent fervent prayer. Such hopes will shimmer and not fade inside the fountainhead’s cascade. Pennies, dimes; silver dollars rare belie the dreams of founts’ cascade. July 14, 2020 for the Strand Completely New (10),Any Form,Any Theme Poetry Contest

Did you just watch, "Three Coins in a Fountain?" One never minded tossing Lira, but silver coins did not buy a better return! An apt reminder that water is not as pure as one is led to believe! Good luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico

An interesting style of sonnet. I was not familiar with the Kyrielle Sonnet, so thanks for introducing it to us. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn

This is an intriguing form of sonnet I had not seen before. I love it! The kyrielle influence with each stanza ending nearly indentically. Well done, I wish you success, my friend ~ John
