Poems In April - A L' Arora

Source

Greetings to all poets, wayfarers and friends. I am spicing things up a little this Sunday by introducing a form which I came across a few days ago. 

The A L' Arora, a form created by Laura Lamarca consists of eight lined stanzas. The rhyme scheme is a, b, c, d, e, f, g, f with no syllable count per line and the minimum length for the poem is 4 stanzas with no maximum length stipulation. You can also opt to write one or two stanzas in case you find the length a bit overwhelming.

The thing which I love most about this form is that we don't need to focus all our energy on rhyming and can come forth with a poem naturally.

Here is an example poem:

To Eternity

She had harbored her conscience

as saddened seas set sail

and a hail of happiness

harpooned her harmed heart;

yet the start of her story

cast its line long ago...

when blame built a boat

to float to and fro.

She had waded through waters

towards distant dreams,

as sky's streams shone strong

for promise to grow,

and tide told of legends,

of pirates and gold...

of adventures and romance

and treasures to behold.  read full poem here
