Today's Prompt is Terzanelle

terzanelle is a poetry form which is a combination of the villanelle and the terza rima. It is nineteen lines total, with five triplets and a concluding quatrain. The middle line of each triplet stanza is repeated as the third line of the following stanza, and the first and third lines of the initial stanza are the second and final lines of the concluding quatrain; thus, seven of the lines are repeated in the poem. The rhyme scheme is as follows, with bracketed letters representing individual rhymes:

Verse 1 (a)

Verse 2 (b)

Verse 3 (a)

Verse 4 (b)

Verse 5 (c)

Verse 2 (b)

Verse 6 (c)

Verse 7 (d)

Verse 5 (c)

Verse 8 (d)

Verse 9 (e)

Verse 7 (d)

Verse 10 (e)

Verse 11 (f)

Verse 9 (e)

-Concluding quatrain:

Verse 12 (f)

Verse 1 (a)

Verse 11 (f)

Verse 3 (a)

The middle lines of the final couplet can optionally be put in the opposite order, for an ending consisting of two couplets. Type II ending:

Verse 12 (f)

Verse 11 (f)

Verse 1 (a)

Verse 3 (a)

Alternately, for those familiar with capital-letter rhyme notation, in which a capitalized letter indicated a line repeated verbatim:

ABA'

bCB

cDC

dED

eFE

fAFA'

Or, for the alternate (couplet) ending, the final stanza is:

fFAA'

Ok so we are a bit off trying this, but it sounds harder than it is (WE HOPE)  ....OURS IS ....

GIVE ME ALL THAT LOVE EMPOWERS

Lay me in a bed of flowers

let the sun shine upon my face

give me all that love empowers

when I rise let me embrace

the warming glow of happiness

let the sun shine upon my face

shrugging off all the daily stress

brighten days with love abiding

the warming glow of happiness

For in truth there is no hiding

give me what I'm longing for

brighten days with love abiding

if there are tears, just let them pour

cleanse the air for a new dawn

give me what I'm longing for

cradled in love where we belong

lay me in a bed of flowers

hear my heart beating true and strong

give me all that love empowers

Much easier than I thought it would be... give it a try wont you???
