An example of a Kyrielle Poem

Pollution

Pollution rising in the sky,
People wear masks as they walk by,
It's about time to turn the bend,
For all this pollution to end.

Animals are losing their homes,
To make way for buildings with domes,
What message do we have to send,
For all this pollution to end.

We're all guilty we must confess,
Guilty of making such a mess,
It's time for action, find a friend,
For all this pollution to end.

If we don't act the world won't last,
Breathing fresh air will have long passed,
This is the message that I send,
For all this pollution to end.

Try it out, let's see what you got. Remember, this thread can only survive with your presence and support...dear poetry lovers.

Why didn't you tag us? Thank you for this, sir.

Let me try this out

war


wanted to be a simple man
prayed against Satan's evil plan
spent days and nights in church praying
Hoping one of the verse saves me

blood everywhere, lil brother dead
I fought the urge, to shoot my head
my last FAM left, the world hates me
tried to curse God, but words failed me

revenge is a dish best served cold
revenge is a bîtch, but its bold
I was young, not dumb, was 18
a pastor, now got guns spraying

kill for peace of mind, I thought up
same peace I seek, got me locked up
these are my last days, none bailed me
until I beg God, come save me

Will give I̶̲̥̅̊Ƭ a trier, brb

Good try boss, but each stanza should end in refrain.

basille:
A friend

To paint a picture with words
A task deemed fit for gods
A paper, some courage, a pen
In poetry, i find a friend

As Metaphor and similes
Become part of my family
An honor, to always defend
In poetry, i found a friend

My loyal pen becomes my eyes
On void papers, i live my life
To write forever, i intend
In poetry, i found a friend

When time fades, and people detach
No one left, to be by my side
A humble pal, until the end
In poetry, i found a friend

In poetry, I found a friend...

I shall proceed with other types of poetry on Monday. I need my fellow poet to show what they've got on kyrielle before Monday.

IS SHEKAU DYING TONIGHT? (Kyrielle)

Good morning the merchants of wars;
Gallant forces upholding laws
Our brothers maim us at first sight
Is Bin Shekau dying tonight?

I've seen a brother lost his head
Just cuz he would not make life dead.
You're our friend, fight for our ra ped right.

Is Bin Shekau dying tonight?

We're served death like chickens on streets
In chaos's kitchen all for heartbeats...
We're been fettered by terror's might!
Is Bin Shekau dying tonight?

We've seen them tout their terror live
On western mirror, "he's alive!"
"No, he's dead but alive in fright..."
Is Bin Shekau dying tonight?

Nice.....

Good morning my Noble poet, wish you a wonderful week.

to take a slow walk down the aisle (Kyrielle)

We can't keep living in shadow
Enough; this mirage we wallow
It's dead! A promise a long mile
To take a slow walk down the aisle

It's high time old sun went to hell
Let's be our past fearless farewell
The feelings burns slow, no more high
To take a slow walk down the aisle

An end has come to wayward way
A new day booms like buds of May
No more passions unless I lie
To take a slow walk down the aisle

Now it's real; no more lies and fears
O' Ye new bride, shed your sweet tears
I heap fortune to live on isle
To take a slow walk down the aisle

noble4d:
Good morning my Noble poet, wish you a wonderful week.

You too, sir.

When is another one coming in?

OMA4U:
Let me quickly post this before another comes in

to take a slow walk down the aisle (Kyrielle)

We can't keep living in shadow
Enough; this mirage we wallow
It's dead! A promise a long mile
To take a slow walk down the aisle

It's high time old sun went to hell
Let's be our past fearless farewell
The feelings burns slow, no more high
To take a slow walk down the aisle

An end has come to wayward way
A new day booms like buds of may
No more passions unless I lie
To take a slow walk down the aisle

Now it's real; no more lies and fears
O' Ye new bride, shed your sweet tears
I heap fortune to live on isle
To take slow a walk down the aisle



Did I try?

Nice1 bro...just edit the last line of the last stanza

LESSON 2

A Sonnet is a poem of an expressive thought or
idea made up of 14 lines, each being 10 syllables long. Eight lines called an octave consisting of
two quatrains which normally open the poem as
the question are followed by six lines called a
sestet that are the answer, or the more common
English which is three quatrains followed by a
rhyming couplet.
