Away from the busy city
The coast calls with a soft ditty;
Wild waves on the beach leave their foam
As I make my journey back home
Leafy trees line the winding streets
Sway to the wind with rhythmic beats
Roads wide and narrow I must roam
As I make my journey back home
A jetty on the crimson lake
Still waters reflect hills opaque
Sun sinks slowly shaped like a dome
As I make my journey back home

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.
