A Week of Writing Poetry

I began my poetry writing week on Monday, September 1, and I officially end it on Sunday, September 7. I have written six form poems and I have three more to write. So far this week I have written a ballad, roundeau, saraband, decuain, free verse (yes it is a poetry form), and kyrielle. I still have to write a double (mirror) acrostic, sestina, and shakesperian sonnet. This is why I decided not to leave my apartment until Saturday or Sunday and only then if circumstances require me to go to the store.

seven days of blissful joy
with form poetry

I have enough food, coffee, toilet paper, and paper towels to last me this weekend. If I decide to increase my coffee intake then I may have to go to the grocery store for coffee. I don't think I need anything else and if I do I will wait until Monday when I go after my senior commodities and stop at the grocery store before I get the commodities. I cannot go after I get the commodities because the moved the place I go to, which means if I need coffee or anything like that I have to stop before I pick up the rest of the food.

Kyrielle Poetry Form

To write Kyrielles you use couples, which are two-line stanzas, or quatrains, have four-line stanzas. The minimum numbers of stanzas are three for quatrains and six for couplets, with no maximum number of stanzas.

Kyrielle stanzas consist of eight syllables lines, with refrain (repeated line) at the end of each stanza. The rhyme scheme is a-a-b-refrain (b), c-c-b-refrain (b), and d-d-b-refrain (b) or a-b-a-refrain (b), c-b-c-refrain (b) and c-b-c-refrain (b).

I am working this poetry form on this week. I received this assignment on Sunday, September 11, and the deadline is Saturday, September 17. It has taken me four days to find a subject; however, I will finish it tonight and post it in my writing.com port on Friday.
