Rusty Broken Chains [Kyrielle]

by Jessica   Nov 14, 2006


Climbing on jagged steps from the hell below
Rips and tears throughout her soul she does sew
Her body cleared of dirt, yet a little still remains
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

Quickly sucking the deadly poison out of the snake bite
Running from the blackness, chasing after the white
Bleaching away at her mind, washing away the stains
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

Her past slowly fading, finally fitting in with the crowd
Cleaning herself up, floating happily on her own cloud
A body now pure and free, yet evil still lingers in veins
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

Kyrielle is written in quatrains. Each quatrain has a refrain, which usually appears in the last line of the stanza. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle has, but must have at least 3. There must be a rhyme scheme.

    The repetition of the last line was wonderful. It really brought the poem together. Very powerful, too. Excellent work.

    I really liked the line you repeated, it really wrapped around each stanza nicely. Good choice of words, and really neat ideas.
