A kyrielle
Every year, there's a New Year; and People make commitments to change That oft blow away like soft sands... Then we do it again - ain't it strange? Every year, there's a New Year; and We celebrate like it matters, Imbuing it with meanings grand; But weak illusions shall shatter. Every year, there's a New Year; and I feel quite bemused at the fuss, For little shall go as we've planned... Life's unknowns? Those are beauteous.
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.
love the style.. as for the lists, I only pick one and that seems to work better .. 🤣💖
“I shall not” tends to be easier than “I shall” … 😀
Agreed🤣
Interesting…
And quite true😁
It’s definitely my perception, Jermena… thank you so much ❤

Ahhh resolutions….. I took a resolution on New Year to study more and dedicate less time to extra curricular activities like sport and poetry, and look where I am now 🤣. You’re right, New Year resolutions are almost never followed with full sincerity, and its just another year of unknown to look out for 😀
