An Andaree poem for Poet's Place Form of the Week January 5, 2017 |
The Andaree is a rhyming syllabic form contrived by Andrea Dietrich. The structure starts with an 11 syllable line and descends by 2 syllables in each line until it reaches 1 syllable and then it ascends back to 11 syllables, which is a repeat of the first line. The rhyme scheme is AabbcbcbbaA. In my lifetime I have loved many women I am lucky now I'm yours again I know this could be so wrong I will sing your song Love is real Strong My heart steal And always belong So I all of my life long Have now sworn away from all my sin In my lifetime I have loved many women. |
