I must go back to my personal poetry challenge and at least get through the first 100! I have not done a new poetry form from my list in a very long time. The last one I did was Roundelay (#78) but it is really #79 on my list so I have no idea what is going on….
Anyhow, Sequidilla is next
Seguidilla. Spanish 7-liner that began as a dance song.
So here are the basic rules:
- 7-line poem
- Syllable count for each line is 7-5-7-5-5-7-5
- One assonance rhyme between lines 2 and 4; another one between lines 5 and 7
- Pause between lines 4 and 5–usually an end stop
- Also, the tone or focus changes between lines 4 and 5 as well
Seasons
The time of year is coming
Memories abound
Happiness is just as near
Laughing, crying sound
Autumn comes faster
Time to prepare for deep sleep

Yes, I don’t know who thinks some of these things up or even why?!?!

I oonly just discovered this challenge of yours and have now subscribed. In April, doing the A to Z Challenge, I chose, this year, to write about Commodities but fearing this might be a little dry (it wasn’t, in the event) I decided to add a poem with a matching alphabetical form. Going for 26 forms to such constrained subjects was tough in some cases but fun – but 100! I have to hand it to you and I will be exploring your offerings over time – kudos…
