Hi Guys,
This poem, Learning the Terzanelle, is wrote in one of the poem forms I used to create my own form in my book My Form Created, Tervillazanelle. It is one of my favorite poem forms as it rhymes. It is similar to the Villanelle, however, different in the rhyming sequence as you can see in the Villanelle posted under the Terzanelle poem where I wrote a second Villanelle for part two of The Rhyme It Out Project!.
“T” Terzanelle – “Learning the Terzanelle”
“T”
Terzanelle Poetic Form
The terzanelle poems are a mixture of two popular Italian
forms of the Villanelle (refrains) and the terza rima (structured rhyming) in
19 line.
Here the refrain and rhyme order as follows:
A1
B
A2
b
C
B
c
D
C
d
E
D
e
F
E
f
A1
F
A2
This terzanelle, an easy Italian form
Combining form villanelle and terza rima
Giving me a great way to perform
It’s a very interesting from schema
I do like the villanelle form poem rule
A repetitive form I’ve learned suprema
The terza rima rhyming is cool
Giving me a way to make it rhyme
A learning curve that is dual
This dual structure I can make chime
In learning a poem, I really like
This one I can learn in a short time
In hopefully making it not a strike
My goal is to perform and learn
Hoping with this form to drop the mic
In rhyming this form I’m not concern
This terzanelle, an easy Italian form
It’s dual structure one that is stern
“V” Villanelle – “Villanelle Again “V”
Villanelle
The villanelle is French form, like most
other French poems, incorporates a strict rhyme scheme and repetition. The
villanelle is a quadratic poem that is five tercets consisting of line lengths
of 8-10 syllables. The
first and third lines of the first stanza become refrains that repeat
throughout the poem. This form was in part one of this rhyming project;
however, cannot fine another “V” form. So here again this form.
Here is how it should look:
A (1)
b
A (2)

A(1)

A (2)

For here I perform this form once again
A form I’ve become very familiar with
From repetitive, easy to attain
Now I rhyme this form with no strain
It’s as common to me as the name Smith
For here I perform this form once again
No need to greatly rack my brain
It’s structure easy rhyming herewith
Form repetitive, easy to attain
My name even rhymes being Elaine
Awesome this chance, I jumped forthwith
For here I perform this form once again
Its lines being syllables eight to ten
Found easy, no need to be a wordsmith
Form repetitive, easy to attain
Rhyming being a familiar domain
In this endeavor there’s no myth
For here I perform this form once again
From repetitive, easy to attain
