Between sleep and i
i’ve curled tight inside my lethargy
warmed by half-expectation
behind colder bells, the wind how tells
tall, bright tales. The conflagration
of red umbrellas arrows through grey
lace curtains; the voices soak
the wind who tells, behind colder bells
stories i almost hear. They stoke
further tales, stir them with the embers
the words drowsy with disuse
behind colder bells, the wind who tells
half-lies to a hibernating muse
The ZaniLa rhyme is a form created by Laura Lamarca and has a mathematical, rocking motion that makes me thing of the poetry of Auden.
the form is made up of at least three stanzas, the first, 3rd and 4th contain 9 syllables, while the 2nd line contains 7.
There is also a refrain in two parts in the 3rd line that is switched to alternate from stanza to stanza.
The rhyme scheme is as follows:
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxa
xxxxxxxxx (refrain)
xxxxxxxxa
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxb
xxxxxxxxx (refrain)
xxxxxxxxb
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxc
xxxxxxxxx (refrain)
xxxxxxxxc
