Amera Andersen - The Wall

The wall’s infernal and internal br The wall’s akin to doubts within br The wall is vernal and external br The wall within is your Berlin br br The wall will tout until you shout br The wall keeps in your thankless sin br The wall keeps out the hopeless doubt br The wall within is your Berlin br br The wall will part and break a heart br The wall within divides Berlin br The wall of art keeps us apart br The wall within is your Berlin br br The wall’s infernal and internal br The wall within is your Berlin br br Author's Notes: br br If you count them, I believe this is the only sonnet ever composed with 56 perfect and identical rhymes in it. br br perfect rhyme, full rhyme, true rhyme: These terms refer to the immediately recognizable norm: trueblue, mountainfountain. br br identical rhyme: A word rhymes with itself, as in Emily Dickinson's 'Because I Could not Stop for Death'. br br br Kyrielle Sonnet: br 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: br AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
