FOUR LINES DOWN

YOU MAY HEAR ME RECITE MY POETRY ON YOUTUBE UNDER MY PEN NAME ICHTHYSCHIRO
ENGLYN a quatrain from Welsh poetry has of 30 syllables in four lines 10,6,7,7.The sixth syllable of line one annouces the rhyme,the last syllable of succeeding three lines rhyme with it.(The final syllable of line one is without rhyme).The content has an enigmatic quality.



Here is an example of mine below .

HALF-HEARTED

Her love was like a rose,with no perfume.
Dressed in very fine clothes
passion she could not propose,
brought the romance to a close.
