Of All Who Ventured

Eerily the night fog rolls in
The mansion rises, full of sin
Casting out an ominous glow
Of all who ventured down below

Does innocence dare enter there,
Or will they pass on and take care?
Listen to stories long ago
Of all who ventured down below

To enter is to waste your soul
And pay with your life as the toll
Remaining forever in this woe
Of all who ventured down below.

Kyrielle ▼

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.

Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.

Mixing up the rhyme scheme is possible for an unusual pattern of: axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ, etc. with Z being the repeated line.

The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet.
