Shadows whispering without a sound, “The secrets of life are all around.” Standing alone on the cusp of earth, I wonder what stars shone at my birth. The secrets of life are all around evading, hiding though they abound. Sitting alone in a darkened cave, I wonder what stone will mark my grave. Standing alone on the cusp of earth, looking about for a place to berth. Kneeling alone in the grassy field, I wonder what it’ll be like to yield. I wonder what stars shone at my birth Their light shining bright onto the earth I wonder what stone will mark my grave Will anyone read what it has to say? Copyright © November 8, 2008 by Karen M. Crump Authors Note: The Lilibonelle has a basic form and an extended form. Basic Form: Four stanzas of four lines each, in which each line of the first stanza is consecutively repeated as the first line of each of the other stanzas. (The form allows for a variation where an extra final line may be included.) Use an introspective or reflective theme with this form, one that conveys a loving, wistful or poignant feeling. In the expanded variation, you may choose more than 4 lines per stanza, just make sure that you are consistent throughout the poem. (EXAMPLE: if you pick 5 lines, then each stanza will have five lines and you will end up with 5 stanzas in total.)
