A Poem Of 8 Lines

The following description is reposted with permission from The Poets Garret. My thanks to Ryter Roethicle.

Wreathed Octave

Wreathed poetry is simply a natural blending of English poetry with the Celtic Welsh. Its creator George Herbert was born into a wealthy artistic family in Wales and afterward was educated in Trinity College, Cambridge and was unpublished until later his expiry. It is believed that his poem A Wreath was inspired by the Welsh form Englyn cryrch which uses an internal rhyme scheme with an external ane and gives a couplet scheme of:

x. x. x. x. x. x. x.a.
x. a. x. x.x. ten. x.b.

The red in the second line indicates that the internal rhyme tin be anywhere in the first function of 2nd line and can exist a repeat word rather than a rhyme. that is the poets determination. There is no internal rhyme in the outset line, It was later that poets saw the possibilities and created the octave with a rhyme scheme of:

x. x. 10. x. ten. 10. ten.a.
x. a. x. x. x. x. ten.b.
ten. b. x. 10. ten. x. ten.a.
ten. a. ten. x. x. x. x.b.
x. b. x. x. x. x. ten.c.
10. c. 10. ten. ten. x. 10.d.
x. d. x. ten. 10. ten. ten.c.
10. c. ten. x. x. x. ten.d.

Here is an example of that form:

Shrouded Thoughts

Must I wait i more day to speak to you lot
Tell you of my eternal love and desire to share.
Everything I cartel you know I will pursue
In that pursuit, at that place is nothing I will not cartel.
Knowing you care, certain of you wanting me
Specially of being betrayed in the recent past
At present that is past fifty-fifty more I need certainty
Are you lot my certainty and will our love last?

Ryter Roethicle

Un-wreathed Octave

Later poets realised that some Irish forms led with an internal form and from that was born United nations-wreathed poesy, simply the reverse of Wreathed in that the first line starts with an internal rhyme with the 2nd external then on, there being no fifth line in that location is no external rhyme, giving information technology a basic rhyme scheme of:

x. b. x. x. x. ten. x.a.
x. a. x. x. x. 10. 10.b.
ten. b. x. x. 10. x. 10.a.
x. c. x. x. x. x. x.b.
x. d. x. x. x. 10. ten.c.
x. c. ten. x. x. 10. ten.d.
x. d. x. x. x. x. x.c.
x. ten. ten. ten. x. 10. x.d.

My Example

Form: Wreathed Octave

Homeostasis

The h2o from the snowfall today
is stored away in mountains high
and so nosotros're not dry out come late in May.
Don't damn the grey bleak wintertime sky
I don't deny off-white skies are practiced,
but fields and forest would suffer drought
were they without the snow that stood;
because it could nosotros're non without.

Mother Sez (Verso-Rhyme)

I've tried to teach you son,
to requite a darn.
Your puppy chewed my shoes

This is a house and it
is not a barn.
Put down the toilet seat!
Don't slam the hat!

My case

Petition for Slack  (Octaz Rhyme)

Just the facts
No demand to emote
or offering up some obscure quote.
Just lay it on me darling, here and at present.

If I gave law-breaking
it's 'cus I'grand dense,
relax.

My example

Hanging On (Italian Octave)

More bothersome the gusts became today,
agonizing my tranquility, and more than,
as leaves from autumn limbs, the breezes tore.
The wind grew stronger causing limbs to sway,
and so gusts removed more leaves, and took them 'manner.
"Don't strip them all", I heard myself implore
equally more roughshod quietly to wood floor.
Yet some remained; like me, 'twas not their twenty-four hour period.

And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, pitiful middle is,
And sing to yous in the dark,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Tempest-darken'd or starry bright.
