Moon goddess appears
To light the celestial night array When darkness brings fears Night spreads a sheet of black Stars shine and twinkle in the Milky Way Nocturnal diamonds to track As Mother Earth rotates round Moon yields to the bright light of day Disappears without a sound |
The Nocturna is a 9 line poetry form based on the nocturne theme containing three, three-line lessons recited during the night. The subject Must be nocturnal and it consists of three tercets linked by the rhyme of the center line; aim for a smooth flow (meter) and pleasing sound. It is possible to write without meter. (For this challenge, you do NOT have to write a prayer--just something about the night). RHYME SCHEME: aba/ cbc/ dbd/ ******* the 'b' rhyme consists of DIFFERENT words that ALL rhyme--please no 'ing' ending rhymes UNLESS the first syllables rhyme.]
