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.

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???
