What does a 10 stanza poem look like?

Answer 1

Hi

It looks like a lot to the roundel, a French kind of versification consisting in 5 stanzas, the first 4 of 4 verses each, the last one of 5.

I would call it a double-roundel, even thou it has no propper name yet

an example of it is this poem of mine; .

Rotten Shreds

<center>

By Ian M. Andrade

</center> <center>

Rotten you in the piety once I had

</center>

To your worst enemy, I thought the past

<center>

As I could not see yet that here you are

</center>

To be blamed, the only one

<center>

</center>

Faith is not a rule for you

<center>

As you are not fortune's fools

</center>

You and your empty soul

<center>

Are fortune's wh$!#

</center> <center>

My bad, your soul is not empty for sure

</center>

But with fears and insecurities full

<center>

All of the above broke the moon

</center>

Of your God's given allure.

<center>

</center>

Yes, because once I saw a horizon I made myself

<center>

Barefoot I took the chance, and I scored by theft

</center>

Since I dimmed in me the greatest value of life,

<center>

Not by all mastered, that was my height.

</center> <center>

I used to measure my own

</center>

By dreams and expectations

<center>

And the strength to don't go down

</center>

Enhanced by my former affections.

<center>

</center>

But I should thank my hesitations

<center>

For covering up with mud

</center>

For being hit by your paws

<center>

For becoming your future's pawn.

</center> <center>

Now I want you out the livery

</center>

Leave not my head or memory

<center>

For as, how am I to don't mess up?

</center>

In this game so called love?

<center>

</center>

As with you, Again? Not a chance

<center>

Differently? It's a no doubt crash

</center>

Since I was born with no love-lack

<center>

Now I must work in the loving part.

</center> <center>

Do leave my heart, however

</center>

Thy I have to accept you're still on it

<center>

But not in a corny, cheesy bladder

</center>

But in the darken shreds, lit is spilling

<center>

</center> <center>

</center>

Ashes of hatred and despite

<center>

Towards the life once I had,

</center>

I know, don't tell me

<center>

It was ALL in my mind.
