Written for: dVerse Poets Pub - Poetics: Exploring The Realm of French Literature (first stop, Marseille) (posted by Sanaa) "Today we will delve deep into the French poetic form “Rima Dissolutas.” Popular with 12th and 13th century French poets, rimas dissolutas is a poem that rhymes and doesn’t rhyme. For instance, each stanza contains no end rhymes, but each line in each stanza rhymes with the corresponding line in the next stanza–sometimes employing an envoi at the end. Here’s how the end rhymes would work in a Rimas Dissolutas with three five-line stanzas: (1-a, 2-b, 3-c, 4-d, 5-e) (6-a, 7-b, 8-c, 9-d, 10-e) (11-a, 12-b, 13-c, 14-d, 15-e) There are no rules for meter, line length, or syllables–except that it should be consistent from stanza to stanza." In moments of silence there remains the sound of my mind scurrying from one thought to another like tiny white mice with no end of persistence. In meditation I have found a bit less cluttering, a small measure of peace, deep breaths–a device easy to do in anyone's presence. I concentrate to stay on firm ground. My wish, to be flourishing, and exploring life as a treasure, maintaining a silence to revitalize. https://dversepoets.com/

Nicely done Sara! It is hard to shut down the hubbub sometimes. Silence is golden unless you are old… then it becomes hubbub of a different kind with the tinnitus ringing like an ongoing factory floor with all the machines singing at one time. Love your poem.
