Re: Form of the week: Cuaderna Via

The Cuaderna Via is:
• stanzaic, written in any # of mono-rhymed quatrains.
• syllabic, 14 syllable lines divided into hemistiches of 7 syllables each, often broken by caesura. There is no wiggle room in syllable count.
• mono-rhymed. The rhyme must be true rhyme, no slant rhyme, assonance or consonance.
Rhyme scheme aaaa, bbbb etc. Apparently this is a form for purists.


Shapes in the sky
By Lisa Noe*Cat*

In the morning it is blue, in the evening it turns gray.
Rain will fall upon our heads, until the end of the day.
Rainbow appears in the sky, God made a promise they say.
In April showers they bring, flowers for the month of May.

I love to watch the clouds form, I try to make things from them.
Animal patterns I make, til the daylight tries to dim.
I love to lay with my man, I make animals with him.
He always sees a big tree, from it there stretches a limb.
