Ladies and gents of AW who remember the crooked rhyme Englyn form of Welsh poetry that I introduced (Englyn unodl crwc) and anyone else for that matter, I’ve been doing a little more digging into it and I’ve discovered another Englyn form, a more modern one, that also lends itself quite well to exercises, called the Englyn unodl pedwar (translates loosely as united forth rhyme Englyn). Basically the form is 4 lines of 6 and 2 lines of 7 syllables in which the forth syllable of each rhymes. The two 7 syllable lines can appear anywhere in the poem after the first line of 6. I have chosen in my example to place them at the end.
September folds into
seasonal mauve, clouded
eyes as skies cold, but still
in her smile blows a warm
breeze and a glow of sunbeams
cutting the flow of autumn.
Simple, right? Go ahead, give it a go…please.
