AFTER THE RAIN (Kyrielle Sonnet)

    Photo from: Photobucket.com

With pure hearts we have to believe,

 The Lord is here, He’ll never leave.

Where light in the dark still glow,

After the rain there’s a rainbow.

 

The rich and the poor join along

To pray and to sing their one song.

‘til  end of the day all would know

After the rain there’s a rainbow.

 

Where joy is, always, in the air,

When everyone feels all are fair

Though troubles are there, still we grow

After the rain there’s a rainbow.

 

With pure hearts we have to believe,

 After the rain there’s a rainbow.

Author's Note

Kyrielle Sonnet
A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:

AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.

There is definitely a rain bow after rain, valleys after hills, joy after tears, accomplishment after toil, salvation after this mortal life, freedom after slavery, oasis in deserts, well said and true, we need to believe in rainbows ans valleys to keep going and to materialize our dreams, portrayed faith and hope beautifully, loved the poem

[Dhaye]

Thank you so much, Linda. God bless!

[Linda alexander]

You most welcome, my pleasure, take care

[Michael (Letters and Li..]

Beautiful write as always! Your pieces are always so emotional and deep!

[Dhaye]

Thank you for visiting my page, Michael.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

nice symmetry...the rainbow comes back after the rain, like it always does.
after the pain, there is sunshine...life works in cycles like that, so does love.

[Dhaye]

There's a promise of hope every time we feel down... Thanks so much, Sir Jacob.

Very beautiful Kyrielle Sonnet, and thanks for teaching us (well, at least teaching ME) something new. Have you considered doing a book of poetry types?

[Dhaye]

Yes, I'm done with Breathing Thoughts Volume I (Kinds and Forms of Poetry). I'm working now in Volume 2 (traditional Poetry Forms) and Vol. 3 (Poetic Devices). Just decided that everything I'll be posting will have a sure "room" for keeping them. I'm also learning here and I'm just sharing what I am learning. Thanks a lot, Eddie.

[Eddie Davis]

Are your books available to purchase? Maybe on Amazon or something? That would be really nice to have a good-old-fashioned paper and ink book on these poem types that I could review when away from my computer (which is seldom). If they are available, how much do they cost?

Breathing Thoughts Vol. 1 only. I'm still working on Vol.2 and 3.

[Eddie Davis]

Wow, you are published! That is so neat! I've bookmarked your Amazon page that you sent and I will probably order it after I get paid next week. The book looks really well done. That is quite impressive!

[Dhaye]

No, that's a simple one...only the common kinds and forms...only 25 kinds/forms of poetry in 100 pages. I like more this Volume 2 but it will take so much time to finish this.

[PearlPoet]

It is a wonderful write for sure and the message is such a joyful one!!!
I haven't written a sonnet in such a long time...~~~deep sigh~~~ So good to read one tonight on this site...

On a more technical note, a sonnet " or any poems by my taste" should only use perfect rhymes and not
identical rhymes... Also the title of the sonnet should be the very first line in the poem... The very essence
of these rules what give the sonnet or any poem a true melody, life.... read your poem out loud as it is now then revising it with the rules applied and reared it out loud again... feel the difference....
Hope my input is not offending...

[Dhaye]

Hmnn...seems that you haven't read my author's note? This is not a Petrarchan nor a Shakespearean sonnet. It is called a Kyrielle sonnet, one of the traditional forms of poetry I am fond of.
I hope I won't offend you anyway. Thanks for the visit.
BTW, you are welcome to my page to read different forms of poetry. I'm still at letter "K". Perhaps in the following months I would be at letter "S" to work for a Sonnet.

[PearlPoet]

hmmmm It seems to me that you didn't read my ~hints~

[Dhaye]

It's okay to give your opinion. I'm open to any helpful suggestions. But you are insisting on a sonnet alone and not which a Kyrielle sonnet requires...

Thanks again.

[PearlPoet]

Kyrielle sonnet requires.... ok Im sorry for dropping by.... Have a great night...

[Dhaye]

Have a great night there. It's morning here. Best wishes!

[Sami Khalil]

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:).........................

[Courtney]

I love how simple yet profound this piece is.. How you show that through everything know that "After the rain there's a rainbow." I love the message, and you wrote in such a way that it is not overbearing. In short, I love this piece :)

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Courtney.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Spiritually magnificent work, I give you two big AMENS!!

[Dhaye]

Thanks, cowboy!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]
