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 |

We can teach the world to sing by encouraging them to share their voices and develop what they bring showing that there are choices to become symphonies and not just noises. ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
