Ghost? Hunny, I'm Your Vampire. {Terzanelle}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Jan 2, 2007


Ghost? Hunny, I'm your vampire,
With sweet surrender and biting kiss,
Ghost? Hunny, I'm your vampire.

Look into my eyes, an endless abyss,
A fire thriving in thine eyes?
With a sweet surrender and biting kiss.

Hunny, do you see me, I'm your lie,
I have so many lies I have to tell
A fire thriving in thine eyes?

Smile broadly and you'll do well,
In these dusty halls of Hell,
I have so many lies I have to tell.

Seduce you with my dark beauty to sell,
Ghost? Hunny, I'm your vampire,
In these dusty halls of Hell.

Heat; full of a one time desire,
Ghost? Hunny, I'm your vampire,
Ghost? Hunny, I'm your vampire,
What you lack, is what I desire.

The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the
terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets
plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear
as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line
of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last
stanza which appears in the quatrain. The rhyme and refrain scheme for the triplets
is as follows:

1. A
2. B
3. A

4. b
5. C
6. B

7. c
8. D
9. C

10. d
11. E

    This is really cool! i love how this was something so different.. it was great!! i loved all the stanzas but my favourite definitely had to be the ending one. Because it was so strong and gripping ya know.. o and btw its really good how when you have used a style of poetry you explain what it is so the people who read it know. 5/5 well done :)
