I don’t know why they call you mad
find you sad
you longed for love while they fought
and always sought
attention which you did not get
you got so set
rebellious, independent
a flower-child as they say
with strong sparks, you wilted away
to hurt … became a depressed child they resent
10-line Poem Challenge #27 – Ovillejo
In summary, the Ovillejo is:
- A decastich (10-line poem) written in two stanzas, a sestet and a quatrain.
- Syllabic Structure: 8-4-8-4-8-4 8-8-8-12
- Rhythm = trochaic throughout (I personally don’t always hold to this rule.)
- Meter = tetrameter (lines 1,3,5,7,8,9); dimeter (lines 2,4,6); line 10 = lines 2,4,6 combined
- Rhyme scheme = aabbcc cddc
This is excellent, Reena.
