The lunatic light of the full moon for Writers Cramp |
The lunatic light of the full moon Lit up the night sky, Turning the night into noon. Making us feel quite high The drinkers keep drinking in the bar, Drinking all night until the mar. Just howling Just howling The drinkers keep The drinkers keep Soon the night becomes quite bizarre. The lunatic light of the full moon Making the drinkers fly. Soon they are ready to swoon. Some want to die Others want to fight and spar. Some star at the dog star. Want to drink more Want to drink more Others want to The moon turns into a blue star. The lunatic light of the full moon The drinkers ask why? Naked dancing to the mad tune, With a look very wry, Outside they get in their car. They will not travel far, They are too drunk They are too drunk Outside they get Hoping they will become film stars. the lunatic light of the new moon lit up the night sky turning the night into noon making us feel quite high the drinkers keep drinking in the bar drinking all night until the mar the drinkers keep the drinkers keep makes the night soon very bizarre the lunatic light of the new moon make the drinkers fly die New Prompt: We are starting Poetry week with a form for which I found an explanation outside Writing.com.

Howling at the Moon Trijan Refrain The Trijan Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of three 9-line stanzas, for a total of 27 lines. Line 1 is the same in all three stanzas, although a variation of the form is not to repeat the same line at the beginning of each stanza. In other words, the beginning line of each stanza can be different. The first four syllables of line 5 in each stanza are repeated as the double-refrain for lines 7 and 8. The Trijan Refrain is a rhyming poem with a set meter and rhyme scheme as follows: Rhyme scheme: a/b/a/b/c/c/d,d refrain of first 4 words of line five /c Meter: 8/6/8/6/8/8/4,4 refrain/8 |
