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 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. |
