This is for the the daughter of our own poetess, Kathy.

The Kyrielle Sonnet is a French form from the Middle Ages. It has 14 lines (three 
rhyming quatrains and a non-rhyming couplet). It has a repeating line or phrase 
as a refrain in the last line of each stanza.  Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet 
has eight syllables.  There are times when a French poem links back to the 
poem’s beginning; therefore, a common practice is to combine the first line of 
the first quatrain and the refrain in each quatrain as the ending couplet for the 
poem.

Not Your Average Love Poem

It’s a warm afternoon in the spring,
And I’ve got plans for you.
So put on that beautiful blue sundress,
And meet me downtown by 2.
I’ll play by your rules,
I’ll do everything right.
Just tell me in my ear,
That you’ll hold me tonight.
I’ve been thinking of you all day,
And I’d love to take you out.
I want to show you that my love,
Is real, without a doubt.
We’ll walk holding hands,
And have lunch at our favorite place.
I’ll even take you to the bar upstairs,
Our favorite hiding place.
I’ve always been the stubborn one,
Never taking anyone’s advice,
But in this case, I’ll let it all go…
Just to hear say you’ll hold me tonight.
I’ve waited to see you all day long,
My heart has been skipping beats.
The feeling of your kiss,
My, my, my…. How soft and sweet.
So, wrap me in your arms when you see me,
Hold me close to you and don’t let go.
Tell me that I belong to you,
And watch as my love for you grows.
The sun begins to set,
Pull me close and hold me tight.
I’ve cancelled all my plans for you.
I want to be next to you tonight.
We’ll sip wine at home,
And snuggle close by the burning fire,
Being in your arms like this,
Is my one true desire.
And when you kiss me once again….
You send me straight to paradise,
The feeling of your love is so delight…
I want you to hold me close tonight.
Don’t let me go….
Even if I try and fight….
Just whisper in my ears “Be still….”
“And let me hold you tonight.”
Oh, my God, the thought of this…
It makes me yearn for you even more….
I’ve never had a love like this before.
I made a wish on a star,
Hoping it comes true with all my might,
So if you see me getting a little edgy,
Just whisper in my ear….
“Let me hold you tonight.”

Premium Member Do I

Do I appear in your dreams at night
Am I in your thoughts at the stop light
Do you find yourself seeing me
when I'm not there
Do you hear me when it's not me
that you hear

Do you miss me so your heart breaks
Am I the wish on a star you make
Does the melody of our song
make you blue much
Does a couple embracing make 
you miss my touch

Do you anticipate my calls and messages I send
Am I in trouble for being late again
Do you find yourself alone
in a crowd of friends
Do you mark every moment
until we are together again

I just wonder if this you do too
Because all my thoughts are of you
Do I miss you too
Do I miss you
Yes I do

Premium Member A Little Goats Dream Nursery Rhyme

Once a little goat with a small horn,
Wanted to become a unicorn,
She wished and she wished every night
And prayed and prayed, it might
Come true, I want to wish on a star,
So the next night they saw one far,
But although so bright
Gave off little light.
Look mummy at that grass over there,
Please don’t stare,
For they might run away, fairies
Right next to the bush with berries
I’m going to send them a whisper
Mummy kissed her, ooh your whisker
Tickles mummy, suddenly three
Fairies flew by her side what do you
Wish for most, as you are of the few
That never asks, whatever you wish,
I want to be a unicorn, please
They waved their wands with ease,
There stood the prettiest pink unicorn, 
Gone was the small horn,
Replaced by a twirly one,
The little goat girl now an awesome unicorn,
Her star sign remained Capricorn.
She had a fluffy mane
And her eyes were blue, insane.
Oh fairies I love you so much
Your wands and their magic touch,
What can I do for you.
and you and you,
Listen to your parents and be a good girl,
And thus your mane will always curl!

Premium Member Midnight Rose

A single black rose as dark as midnight
Represents the pain of my broken heart
Even shadows are pale in the moonlight

Watch as the raven in the eve takes flight
With the moon a contrasting work of art
A single black rose as dark as midnight 

I wish on a star with all of my might
That a happy ending it might impart
Even shadows are pale in the moonlight 

The feeling in my chest is oh so tight
My lover refuses to play her part
A single black rose as dark as midnight

On pedestal I placed her of great height
I prayed nothing would tear us apart
Even shadows are pale in the moonlight

I know I must be a pathetic sight
For I was birthed to be doomed from the start
A single black rose as dark as midnight
Even shadows are pale in the moonlight

Premium Member Wish On a Star

Last night, 
As I stared up at the sky,
Stars glistening, stirring hope within,
Breaking through the silence, 
Erasing all the doubt, the shadows
Waning as the little lights
Twinkled, fading in and out –
Freeing my dreams, my feelings
Emotions breathing creativity

Last night,
The glimmer of starlight above me,
Wishes started to caress my smile,
Yearnings – deep and alive inside,
Where the fantasy, the desire…
Burned like a blazing fire, 
Illuminating my heart, my soul
With dreams so alive they blistered
My feelings with vision, pulsating
Faith, freedom – fulfillment

Last night,
I stared up at the sky,
Wishing on a star as it sparkled,
Glowing across the night,
Heavy with beauty and soothing
Away every fear, comforting 
As it shone, brighter than the moon,
Trembling with joy – inviting
My heart to believe in the dream,
To wish – like a child who is
Caught up with certainty, so willing
To remember that the stars, themselves
Are His miracles, His gifts…

Last night, 
I wished on a star and now…
The beauty of that moment reminds
Me that the truth is far more
Beautiful than any fantasy, any dream

The truth is that my wish came true
The moment that I gave my heart to you

Harmonic Fracture

You came to me like a wish on a star,  
I whispered, finally, here you are.  
Your rhythm sang straight to my heart,  
We shared a sandwich, a drink, a start.  

I told myself, this will be okay,  
But trust turned into rust and faded away.  
Your smile grew wider and wider,
your baby blue eyes grew darker and darker,  

You walked farther under the vast expanse of the sky.  
You drank in whispers, only lies.  
Was I the fool, or was it you?  
Your storm of words, both false and true.  

At work you danced; the world adored,  
But I was handed a crooked sword.  
The man I loved, my “forever,”  
Faded like leaves in cruel weather.  

You slept, you snored, you slipped from me,  
Cheating with colors I could not see.  
Crushed and hidden and snorted, they stole your fire,  
While you accused me of the mire.  

I crawled through dirt to bring your crown,  
Yet you kept pressing, dragging me down.  
The girl I was sank deep inside,  
A broken doll with nowhere to hide.  

Machines and lights became your affair,  
I begged, don’t spend, but you didn’t care.  
Leaves fell from the tree of your soul,  
As poison swallowed you whole.  

Food became art I couldn’t taste,  
My body fading into waste.  
You laughed a pitch that pierced my skin,  
Admitting how you loved the pain you dragged me in.  

Shattered dreams and ripped-up clothes,  
I watched our love decompose.  
Now I stare at the moon in its silver veil,  
While you lie cold on a bed in jail.  

I mourn the man you used to be,  
Before you vanished into the sea.  
I chose the light of a brand new day,  
While you let the night take you away.

Premium Member Frolic

Come let us play,
Play just for fun,
Fun in fond sway,
Sway in sweet pun.


Come let us sing,
Sing wild and free,
Free as joy springs,
Springs sweet smiles see.


Come let us dance,
Dance in the rain,
Rain in wet chance,
Chance not in vain.


Come let us shout,
Shout with clear heart,
Heart that speaks out,
Out as joy starts.


Come let us be,
Be full of cheer,
Cheer feels care free,
Free voice right here.


Come let us sow,
Sow words of joy,
Joy that we show,
Show fun and ploys.


Come let us learn,
Learn to be wise,
Wise as we earn,
Earn a nice prize.


Come let us feast,
Feast on good things,
Things on a list,
List that we bring.


Come let us know,
Know what works best,
Best that we show,
Show a fond quest.


Come let us wish, 
Wish on a star, 
Star in the dish, 
Dish where we are!

Premium Member Do You Believe In Magic

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe wishes come true?
Do you sometimes wish for something
And it magically appears for you?

Do you believe in magic?
Do you sometimes wish on a star?
Do you sometimes look to the heavens 
Wondering just who we are?

Yes it really is magic
To wake up each morn with a song!
Greet each day with a joyful heart
Be happy and glad you belong!

Belong to a glorious land that is free
Free to live and love as you wish!
Free to choose the path that you take 
And thankful for a life filled with bliss!

Lighting the way to the heavens above
On a magical starlit night!
With a big yellow moon shining brightly
It's pure magic and pure delight!

The Greatest of Wordsmith's Rhymes

I finally came home.
I did not win fully free, not yet;
but the lights by which I roam
are closer to where my roots are set.

Before leaving, I had to say farewell
to those there who kept me strong.
When cruel circumstances upon me fell,
they're the reason I strayed from wrong.

Endless examples of good I could give,
and seems endless seas between us now lie;
I am content to, during dark times, the good relive,
and not belabor what seemed a perfect goodbye.

Suffice to say such kindness as that, their spark,
exists in few you'll meet in a life, and few times.
But to call oneself friends with those who bear that mark?
That lies beyond even the greatest of wordsmith's rhymes.

And now to reach my goal, two years emergent,
orchestrating a touch early my autumn return;
I find old memories and friendships resurgent,
remembrance and joy that I strove to earn.

To lie on my back with the dog right by,
looking up at the heavens' ever-expansive dish.
To see a shooting star streak across the sky,
and realize only one thing more could I wish.

They say you can never get back what used to be,
can never truly be who you once were;
sitting across the street from what I used to see,
I feel the familiar, past me in me stir.

Seeing the ever changing, ever same rain,
in front of the house that saw me a man.
Looking at the tree I climbed to dull my pain,
the thought of more of such, from which I ran.

I wish now I hadn't, I wish now I'd stayed,
and for a little while longer, for that I pay;
my wish on a star, while under them I laid,
that here in the rain, here, home, I could stay.

In the eyes of those I regret so dearly running to,
saying such is one of my many unforgivable crimes.
To know that not to them, but to that inimitable spark, I remain true?
Such must be the source of the greatest of wordsmith's rhymes.
