I was a river – once flowing freely,
Was a part of the nature lovely…
Through the mountains n plains…
But, I have now become waters still…
From hills to plains I tread paths,
Paths for lives of people of all sorts….
Taking in all their prayers n pains…
But, I have now become waters still…
I have blessing the plains with silt,
Making them fertile, n set for cities built…
Absorbed all the dumps n drains…
But, I have now become waters still…
All my takings made you sick,
To the nature rules you never stick,
Bound me inside the dams n slains…
But, I have now become waters still…
I am the base for your survival,
Respect me and let me follow the trial…
I’m filling myself with rains…
But, I have now become waters still…

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.
Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.
LOvely use of the kyrielle form, 🙂
