What Will

I read of love, undying love,
what does that mean, undying love?
A rose withers, a blossom falls,
                   what lives will die.

Love is a will, a rush, a sigh,
a touch, a cry, a hope, a rock.
I read of love, undying love,
                   what lives will die.

Blush of new love we know must fade
replaced in time with trust and grace.
In rest, I will my love remain.
                   What lives will die.
                             -Judi Van Gorder

Baccresiezé is an invented verse form, apparently created as an exercise in repetition. This verse has two and a half different refrains. It is attributed to E. Ernest Murel found in Pathways for a Poet by Viola Berg The elements of the Baccresiezé are:

         1. stanzaic, written in 3 quatrains.
         2. syllabic, L1,L2,L3 are 8 syllables and L4 is 4 syllables.
         3. Written with a refrain, L4 of each quatrain is a refrain and L1 of the first quatrain is repeated as L3 in the 2nd quatrain. The last 4 syllables of L1 are repeated as the last 4 syllables of L2 in the first quatrain only.
         4. rhymed, with a complicated rhyme scheme AaxB bxAB xxxB x being unrhymed
