I spent the morning wrting on poetry forms, I had not written before.  I lost my Ottava Rima and Terza Rima and only the Kyrielle survived!

A kyrielle is a poem type that is made of quatrains. Quatrains are four stanza poems. A kyrielle is actually a French form of poetry. The kyrielle is also a rhyming poem so the quatrains must, in fact, rhyme in some way. Each line of a kyrielle poem must consist of eight syllables. The rhymes in a kyrielle occur in couplets, meaning every two lines rhyme with one another. A kyrielle poem can be as short or as long as the writer wishes, so long as it contains the original rhyming quatrain, it is a kyrielle. 

 

In realms where emotions restrain.
Joy is sometimes followed by pain.
The heart is fragile like the brain.
Write your lyrics through a refrain.

If life repaid all of your tears,
would you be rich from all your fears?
When your sorrows refuse to drain,
write your lyrics through a refrain.

When warblers do not sing your song,
in times you feel you don't belong
and it's difficult to explain,
write your lyrics through a refrain.

When silence helps you to reflect,
slowly you begin to dissect,
questions that made you feel insane.
Write your lyrics through a refrain.

When endorphins start to ascend,
sun and sky are a pleasant blend.
Robins turn to hear your quatrain,
write your lyrics through a refrain.

Your style gets me into your head in a way that is different from every other poet. It's all very remarkable how you think. I am hopeful that you are at peace dear Silent One. There is a lot to think about. Thank you for sharing this tenderness.

I like the message of your poem and the rhythm of your refrain.--When silence helps you to reflect, slowly you begin to dissect, questions that made you feel insane--Eloquently said, my friend. A winning poem in my book, SO.

Another brilliant poem, my friend. It seems there is no limit to your ability to master all forms of poetry. "When warblers do not sing your song, in times you feel you don't belong" is what most of us fear.

Ah silent one, im not one for refrains but when you do a form that has refrains truly, its almost unnoticeable as your words just flow so smoothly and in such a captivating manner. I love the way youv written this form. I am not sure if iv tried this form but seems like an interesting one and you do rhymes always so effortlessly! I love the line “ When warblers do not sing your song, in times you feel you don't belong and it's difficult to explain, write your lyrics through a refrain.“ exactly!

But ofcourse this poem is deeper than just “ write a refrain “ i see it and perceive it on a whole different level of deep that stirs the soul and mind of readers, in a lyrical flow! When times are hard and when everything is hazy, despite all that which goes on, let the ink flow, and relieve you from all! Pleasure reading your work always! You always make me go wowe! Sending you sun

Very nice! A good refrain can set off a poem! When you choose a good refrain it can progress through the bounty of verses with their various thoughts! I enjoy writing kyrielles too :)

Nicely written. I do do like it when end rhymes are well done, easy to read and not a distraction. Enjoyable read!
