Snow's Writing for 2019, 2020, & Beyond

Week 14: Dizain - Light's Music

I listen to the music of the spheres,
Sonatas played by particles of light--
Glowing chords are unheard by human ears--
As they traverse the interstellar night;
Hymns discernible to my spirit's sight.
And melodies played in the hearts of stars,
The passions that ignite the atoms fires,
And spreads light's music through the universe,
Bright waves that arouse poetic desires,
To write metaphor, simile, and verse.

Poet:s Note: ▶︎

Form: Dizain  


Number of lines: 10 (one 10-lined stanza)


Rules:
The Dizain gets us back in the French form domain, which as regular readers know is a favorite of mine. This particular form was a favorite of 15th and 16th-century French poets, but it has also been employed in English by the likes of Philip Sidney and John Keats.

Here are the basic rules of the Dizain:

*Bulletr* One 10-line stanza
*Bulletr* 10 syllables per line
*Bulletr* Employs the following rhyme scheme: ababbccdcd
