A Lira is a five-line Spanish form with 7, 11, 7, 7, 11 syllables and a rhyme scheme of a b a b b, thus:
7 a 11 b 7 a 7 b 11 b ~~~~~~~~~~~ Wolf Prints Dark eyes reveal great valiance, in padded silence you tread the path of pride; inner strength perceived in stance. Insight you freely confide and forever will you be my spirit guide. Cathy Bollhoefer copyright Dec2005 |
