She bakes a wild salmon souffle'
to astound her distinguished peer -
guest of all guests: King Zabineer
Troubadours serenade all day,
dancers Petra and Electra
portray their best kama sutra
Standing on their heads, little sway
blood rushes to their fair faces
while they stare at the King's laces
Serving the meal was her valet
wearing tights and plume d' egret
- mixed greens with an oil Vinaigrette
Crackers, caviar on the way,
fresh raised snails munch on their own terms;
lest we forget compost with worms
Festivities well underway
locally grown cherries did flirt
with almonds in a crepe dessert
the king made away with Petra
madame's face: quite the fenestra
Trying my hand at a form I picked up on one of our blogger's posts called The Constanza, which consists of five or more 3-line stanzas. Each line has a set meter of eight syllables. The first lines of all the stanzas can be read successively as a poem. The first lines convey a theme written in monorhyme, while the second and third lines of each stanza rhyme together. Rhyme scheme: a/b/b, a/c/c, a/d/d, a/e/e, a/f/f………etc. Those in the know please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this. dversepoets.com
