Written for:  dVerse Poets Pub - Poetry Form:  Mirrored Refrain
(posted by Grace)

"The Mirrored Refrain is rhyming verse form constructed by Stephanie Repnyek.

The poem is formed by three or more quatrains where two lines within the quatrain are the “mirrored refrain” or alternating refrain.

The rhyme scheme is as follows: xaBA, xbAB, xaBA, xbAB, etc..

x represents the only lines that do not rhyme within the poem. 
A and B represent the refrain." 



Saxophone thrills me,
notes creep under my skin.
I think of hot summer nights.
Sound of the blues vibrates within.

Music brings people together.
Cultures combine–a joyous sight
Sound of the blues vibrates within.
I think of hot summer nights.

One voice in language of many
tugs shuttered windows open.
Sound of the blues vibrates within.
I think of hot summer nights.
