It looks like I'm trying to do at least one weird-form poem per day, so that's a thing. Today it's the Monchielle! -------- Melancholic Lighting I hear the people think Of me as nothing but A whispy melancholic Wretch with access to some Pens- an alcoholic I hear the people think “Hey, is he the one who Lets his hours rot, And wastes the costly time He’s got?” Put on the spot. I hear the people think About things I’d never think about. Running out Of timely thoughts of Ends- Of air-time fading-out.   I hear the people think That though the gears may turn eternal, my limbs seize. It’s me, the spotlight’s on- And them I have to please. --------- The following all comes from Shadow Poetry, which has been my #1 resource for all of these poetic forms: "The Monchielle is a poem that consists of four five-line stanzas where the first line repeats in each verse. Each line within the stazas consist of six syllables, and lines three and five rhyme. The rhyme pattern is Abcdc Aefgf Ahiji Aklml. The Monchielle form was created by Jim T. Henriksen." I decided to do a whole lot of through-line stuff as opposed to heavy pauses or individual lines = individual thoughts. It was fun!
