Metre for March - Englyn Milwr

[Blackbird]

Englyn Milwr:

A relatively simple metre - I thought this was for the best, as it's the first one we're trying ;D

Each stanza has three lines.
Each line must have seven syllables.
The end word of each line must rhyme - so you have the same rhyme throughout the verse.

eg:

x x x x x x a
x x x x x x a
x x x x x x a

Get scribbling

Great idea! This will take me a little time, though - so I'll get back to you...

Blessings,

Angharad

The Harp

Carven beak and glossy wing
Fingers flutter swift on string
Lilting line cries 'Sing, harp sing!'

Sing a song of blood and bone
Ancient kin of listeners known
Rich seeds in the young are sown

Sing us of the Shining Ones
Strings remake forgotten bonds
Warp and weft of sacred songs
