Week 3 - Wrapped Refrain

A savory treat I shall eat
Licking my lips and so repeat;
Beef pot pies with a flaky crust,
Homemade is best, and ones I trust -
A deliciousness that none can ever compare;
So saying this, I shall eat a savory treat.

Prompt/Week # 3


Form: Wrapped Refrain


The Wrapped Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of 2 or more stanzas of 6 lines each;
Meter: 8,8,8,8,12,12 and Rhyme Scheme: a,a,b,b,c,c.

Refrain rule: In each stanza, the first 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) in the first line must be the last 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) at the end of the last line.
This is what wraps each stanza with a repeated refrain ...thus, the Wrapped Refrain.
