Now Or Never~CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme

by Poet on the Piano   Jun 7, 2009


Perfectly ironed navy blue dress, classic black wedge sandals,
Brown hair snug in a bun, smelling like cherry blossom candles.
A thin stack of papers neatly lined up, ready to be free,
To reveal past history, her secrets for others to see.
Checking her watch, she rushes out the door, nervous as ever,
Not wanting to make a mistake or be late whatsoever,
Racing down the streets, she recites lines, wanting to endeavor.
She is usually successful with everything she handles,
But she is just unable to open her heart up to glee,
Attempting to soothe her mind, she mutters it's now or never.

The CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme consists of one 10-lined stanza. The rhyme scheme for this form is AABBCCCABC and a syllable count of each line is 15.

This was my first try at this form, it was challenging,
but I enjoyed writing it!
