Gossamer Bead

Enchants woods in valley of mist,

Glides from heaven's womb to exist,

Life pours from sky.

Shimmers in eyes my dreams and tears,

Hums at nights fading my dark fears,

Drop of goodbye.

Celestial glide on tiny palms,

Glimpses of divine loop of realms,

Reborn to fly.

*This poem has been written using the French Tail-Rhyme poetry form that begins with either a couplet or a triplet of lines that consist of rhymed lines. This set of either a couplet or triplet is then followed by a "tail", which is the third or fourth line that does not rhyme with the couplet or triplet that preceded it. This tail line tends to be shorter in length than those lines within the couplet or triplet. This type of poetry can also be used with stanza, known as a tail-rhyme stanza, but in these pieces, all of the tail lines rhyme with each other. The use of tail rhymes in literature was often found in several different Middle English romance pieces. First there is a rhyming couplet of normally of eight syllables then a third and shorter line. There is another couplet that rhymes with the first one and the sixth, shorter line that rhymes with the third line. This gives us a suggested pattern : aabccb. Here I have used 8,8,4 syllables in each couplet and tail respectively and a rhyme scheme of aabccbddb.*
