Norton, writing on Allpoetry as DarkButterfly, has given us another decastich. Hers is called the Ravenfly. I did my best to create an etymology of the Cinq Trois DecaLa Rhyme, but I’m not even going to guess how the Ravenfly got its name. This too is a rhyming poem, and it has three stanzas: 2 quatrains and a couplet. The line length is based on syllabic count as opposed to meter, but it could very easily lend itself to tetrameter for the quatrains and pentameter for the couplet. In summary, the Ravenfly is: • A decastich (10-line poem) written in 3 stanzas: 2 quatrains and 1 couplet. • Syllabic count: 8-7-8-7, 8-7-8-7, 10-10 • Rhyme scheme: abab cdcd ee • Meter is optional |
