It Would Be So Simple (Monchielle)

by debbylyn   Nov 7, 2007


It would be so simple
To wipe away thy tears
Or perchance a dewdrop
The eve cries in thy stead
As daybreak lights the swap

It would be so simple
To wrap in cotton thread
Or spun silk spider webs
Safe within thy bunting
While out the turmoil ebbs

It would be so simple
To gather weathered wood
Or forage weary shores
While greener foliage lies
Adrift in tidal wars

It would be so simple
To lay thee down beside
Or cleave unto the deep
While patient solace waits
To soothe thy troubled sleep

The Monchielle is a poem that consists of four five-line stanzas where the first line repeats in
each verse. Each line within the stazas consist of six syllables, and lines three and five rhyme.
The rhyme pattern is Abcdc Aefgf Ahiji Aklml.
