Whilst experimenting with some different poetic forms last summer, I tried my hand at an Awdl Gywydd which, I am reliably informed, is a welsh, syllabic form containing a quatrain stanza of seven syllable lines. Lines two and four rhyme and lines one and three cross-rhyme into the third, fourth, or fifth syllable of lines two and four. A Sudoku style challenge for those more obsessed by words than numbers!
German Summer
No ties, an enquiring mind
United by midnight moans
Beguiling little love bug
Real lust hugs, wild pheromones
Green flares, the bohemian kind
Admiring my layered tones
We entwine on the soft rug
Heart strings tug, when I’m alone
