The Land Of Seasons

Kyrielle poem: The land of seasons

The Kyrielle is a French form written in quatrains. Each quatrain contains a repeated line or phrase as a refrain. It has a meter usually composed of eight syllables per line but it can be varied. There is no limit to the number of stanzas, but three is generally the minumum.

I got lost somewhere in my dreams

with green grass growing everywhere

and flowers blooming around me

where leafless trees become alive

The scenery had become fine

as the tropical sun emerged

from nowhere from the cloudless sky

when the dull kids turn cheerful

Walking further, the ambience changed

Golden dead leaves filled the background

twirling leaves were rustling in joy

in a land of raining leaves

Golden background turned deadly white

Frosty snowflakes kissed me slowly

before it turns nasty on me

It's gone, I'm back at where I started

 About the poem:

Living the the land of four seasons, one would enjoy the different atmospheres and the scenery. Lacking the chance to live in a seasonal country, writing this poem was definitely a challenge. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure indeed to be able to finish as planned.
