Mellowtune (@MoonshineNoire)
My poetry style is called the Mellowtune:
--First line of the poem which is repeated at times mentioned below has eight syllables
--Line B (1)contains seven syllables
--Line C(1) contains five syllables
--Line C(2) contains five syllables and rhymes with C (1)
--Line B(2) contains seven and rhymes with B(1)
--Last line is same as the first except for a word you can change in it.
An example of this would be:
For the love of a musician,
Playing a sinuous lay,
On a star-shined night,
Whispering twilight,
In the cher, nebulous May,
For the heart of a musician,
I drank his passion and charm,
Steadily and then,
Heavily again,
Tune changes, sudden alarm,
For the smile of a musician,
Who's depressive gaze saddens,
My very heart and soul,
As they are swallowed whole*,
A moon that slowly blackens,
For the throe of a musician.
In the previous example, I used three stanzas to make it clearer.
Example No.2:
A beau highwayman came riding,
Upon a select racehorse,
Riding down the lane,
With purloined gold chains,
He stole from an old dame's purse,
A fair highwayman came riding,
Up to my front door, knocking,
Offering to court,
Love jusqu'à la mort,
Fervour and gold, a'trying,
A glum highwayman came riding,
Before deciding not to anymore.**
I made it simple so you can still have fun with it.
In this last example, I added a line at the end which we can all agree was necessary. That's something I've left as a choice, same as the changing of a word in the repeated line, you don't have to. Also the number of syllables is flexible, instead of eight you can use nine, instead of five, six if you find a perfect word that has a larger syllable count.
*The extra syllable is not there by mistake.
**Like I've explained, an extra line at the end is okay for closure.
This style is dedicated to Spencer_Paton for kind of being the reason I even came up with a different style.
