Celestial Clowns

Celestial Clowns


If dawn's celestial clowns cavort,
use thunder as joking retort:
when reds and pinks give warning cry,
then harken ye to morning sky.

If clowns on high, when dusk is near
stain the heavens, then have no fear.
When sunset clouds go rolling by
then harken ye to morning sky.

Joy rides on morning angel's wings
in spite of night wind's bellowings.
If blackest night by dawn must fly
then harken ye to morning sky.

If dawn's celestial clowns cavort,
then harken ye to morning sky.

Kyrielle
Quatorzain made up of
(three rhyming quatrain stanzas and  a non-rhyming couplet).
Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet
also has a repeating line or phrase as a
refrain (usually appearing  as the last line of each stanza).
Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consist of only 8 syllables
 French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning
of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line
of the first quatrain as the ending  couplet.
This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem.
Therefore, a good rhyming scheme
for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
