Orgy of Critics {Kryielle Sonnet}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Mar 29, 2007


The dice of life we scorned and threw,
"You can't cheat life!" Reaper mimics --
With lies that are casually true --
I am an orgy of critics.

A bucket to cover your eyes
To number the great statistics,
May he rape you of your alibi;
I am an orgy of critics.

I am a close-call bad habit,
With a heart greatly acidic,
I will seduce you with quick wit --
I am an orgy of critics.

The dice of life we scorned and threw;
I am an orgy of critics.

---------------------------------------

It 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.

    Of all your poems i've thus far read this wasn't my favorite. Although i believe it would be unfair of me to say it wasn't as well written. This poem didn't connect with me but was still brilliantly done. Good poetry is good poetry. 5/5.
