Honing the Craft

Week 45 Tigerjade

Interrupted

Take a breath
stay the path.
We are each just a tiny speck on this planet
but everyone wants what they want when they want it.
You all come to me, I'm in the minority,
your demands will not be my first priority.
I'll be stern,
wait your turn.

Prompt: April 9 Interruption

The Tigerjade  is an invented stanzaic form introduced by Jacqueline Sturge. In researching the name, I found Tiger Jade the name of a freighter in the Bengal Tiger line. The name could also refer to jewelry, a jade tiger.

The elements of the Tigerjade are:

         1. stanzaic, written in any number of octaves.
         2. syllabic, 3-3-12-12-12-12-3-3 syllables per line.
         3. rhymed, aabbccdd eeffgghh etc.
