A kyrielle
I drop her off and collect her; Daily, you can see us walking; For me, all those walks are a blur... My child is constantly talking! I have given up on thinking; Her voice my every thought's blocking; Feels like waking after drinking... My child is constantly talking! I love her more than anything But cringe when her words come knocking around in my mind... how she sings! My child is constantly talking!
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.
Mixing up the rhyme scheme is possible for an unusual pattern of: axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ, etc. with Z being the repeated line.
The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet.
I like the font used in writing the poem. It makes the poem appealing and inviting.
Nice poem.

May silence golden dawn.Not that I don’t like someone talking, I guess it would feel nice for you, wouldn’t it?Enjoy it, while you can…

Haha! Adorable. Yes the constant talking can cause some brain damage. ๐
๐ Terveen ๐ – yep!
Hehe! Enjoy it now because as she becomes a teen the words will dry up and you will be hard pressed to get a minimal verbal response!
