Purple Skies [Terzanelle]

by Jessica   Oct 8, 2006


Floating on fluffy clouds in the bright purple sky
Flying away from sorrow, fulfilling her dreams
Losing all sad memories, her tears she does dry

Another galaxy she enters; perfect it seems
Sunsets reflect on her face, colors are released
Flying away from sorrow, fulfilling her dreams

On newfound happiness and love she does feast
Discovering so much more, seeing all in new eyes
Sunsets reflect on her face, colors are released

Wiping away the dirt, breaking the webs of her lies
Turning over a new leaf, stepping out of old skin
Discovering so much more, seeing all in new eyes

Slowly clearing her slate, destroying the evil within
Washing her insides, leaving them pure and white
Turning over a new leaf, stepping out of old skin

Her view on life suddenly revived, she lives again
Floating on fluffy clouds in the bright purple sky
Washing her insides, leaving them pure and white
Losing all sad memories, her tears she does dry

A Terzanelle is a 19 line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is a repetent reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the next-to-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.

    Ooo. I like this poem a lot. I liked how you repeated a lot of the lines over again. It gave the poem a sort of depth. The flow was very good, and the rhymes were well done. =) 5/5 xoxo
