Day-24,OctPoWriMo-2015.
This image is of my village,where I was born and brought up with loads of happy memories. That road which leads to my school in the background, and the vast expanse of playground have fostered moments unforgettable.River Zuari flows behind my school. That chapel was built by the first Portuguese settlers in 1553 on the shores of river Zuari. You can check the history of my village here...http://www.goacom.com/goan-villages-1/96-salcete/596-cortalim

Time takes a leap through changing seasons,
I remember the happiness shared in your precincts,
Growing into a swan from the realms of child
play,
Your beautiful memory, dances in my eyes every
day.
You left an impact, my citadel of knowledge,
Falling, learning; paving for life, a survival
bridge,
Where you molded, a strong character from soft
clay,
Your beautiful memory, dances in my eyes every
day.
Lifelong friendships were built on that
playground
Behind that chapel adventurous hearts beat unbound
We have fostered those moments, carved on that
winding way
Your beautiful memory, dances in my eyes every
day.
Time takes a leap through changing seasons,
Your beautiful memory, dances in my eyes every
day.
Poetry prompt: #OctPoWriMo
A Kyrielle Sonnet 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. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme
for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
This form seems difficult. Great job. I am pleased you have such lovely memories of your childhood.
