Knight in Red
In which Kiku procrastinates for another day.
I'm hopelessly in love with thee
The kind and gentle soul of you
Oh Knight in Red that's sent to me.
•
He's smiling as I look to see
A man of soul and pure virtue.
I'm hopelessly in love with thee.
•
But as he comes, the scene I flee,
I love you but I'm frightened too,
Oh Knight in Red that's sent to me.
•
I hear your footsteps follow me,
You screaming to the sky so blue:
"I'm hopelessly in love with thee!"
•
Your words send my heart soaring free
But I don't dare to drop a clue
Oh Knight in Red that's sent to me.
•
But I will try again, you'll see!
Perhaps in just a day or two.
I'm hopelessly in love with thee
Oh Knight in Red that's sent to me.
BOOMBADAH...! Didn't expect me to show up late by a day and still have the nerve to act all holistic-like, LIKE!
... Uh, yeah.
Aaanyways, forgive and forget, 's what I always say! (No I don't, but let's pretend I've never posted this line in the first place. That's why this is, like, caged up in a parenthesis and ish). The reason I was late the other week was... Well - because school was in cahoots with the entity of fate and being a downright arse... AND was because I was attempting a new form of poetry, yay! Ergo, the sort I've just posted today! By some mere coincidence, it was also the same one my friend and I had attempted to work on together a long time ago, which - I shan't lie - made me very happy, to be writing something that means so significantly to our past.
This new form of poetry is an Italian one called the 'villanelle', and it's a super fun combo of rhyming verses, with the structure as follows:
Phrase A
Phrase B with rhyme b
Phrase C
•
Phrase X with rhyme A and C
Phrase X with rhyme b
Phrase A
•
Phrase X with rhyme A and C
Phrase X with rhyme b
Phrase C
•
Repeat verses 2 and 3 until you get 6 of them in total! This has been a lot of fun, so I'm definitely going to try something like this again someday. While on a side note...
Plumeria, Plumeria, Plumeria; you prattling on with your fancy 'shan't's and Knightly chatter, when I honestly suspect that Kiku's always doing this procrastinating thing on a daily basis.
-Plumeria-hi, whom you shan't blame for adopting soppy head cannons
