This week I am writing a ballad
This week the Poetic Exploration challenge, on writing.com, is to write a ballad. The ballad has specific rhyme and stanza structure that is normally 4 lines long. The rhyme scheme is one of the following abab, aabb, or abac, with the last line being the chorus line. There are a specific number of syllables, decide the syllable length and stick to it. The ballad is a story and repeats the chorus throughout the poem. Decide on the story, the repeated line, and then add versus to the poem.
I am doing well this week because I have chosen a title and finished the refrain. The title is the Ballad of the Weredragon, which is all I am going to say about it until I have the poem finished.
