Mellow Dreams - Kyrielle Sonnet

by Lonely Rider   Jan 30, 2012


Soaring among the mellow dreams,
in shades of pink and red they gleam,
where sky meets the resplendent sea,
From dawn to dusk I think of thee.

My heart skips at that charming grin,
Whispering till the sun peeps in,
chasing glimmering destiny,
From dawn to dusk I think of thee.

Holding delicate wreaths of love,
wrapped in calm of billows above,
shadows of darkest nights they flee,
From dawn to dusk I think of thee.

Soaring among the mellow dreams,
From dawn to dusk I think of thee.

**A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet).
Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a
refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet
consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning
of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending
couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme
for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:

AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.

    I just love 'thee' everytime I say it. It feels so romantic, so heartfelt and so pure. I don't know...

    well, let's not forget the crux of your poem,,, it's leaking with floral imagery and melodious tunes.
