With Poetry And My Sewing (Kyrielle)

When I was young and in my prime

I was just an ugly duckling.

I'd stay at home and spend my time

With poetry and my sewing.

Hours were gold in this noble craft

I found joy in creating something,

No parties for me, I thrived enough

With poetry and my sewing.

No late night's drain, my health was good

I got bored with all the dancing,

This wall flower bloomed as I should

With poetry and my sewing.

A kyrielle is made of quatrains that rhyme. Each stanza (that is a quatrain) has a line that repeats, so a line from a previous stanza. That line usually (but does not necessarily have to) be the last line.  Any rhyme scheme may be used.

likely on what I believe, being alone is not so bad after all, it gives space for creativity and reflections, gives more than in a company of realistic judgement by others.... though that depends on whom you spend your time with... beautiful work, my friend.
