Paradelle-A Form Of Poetry

First let us take a look at the fromat of Paradelle form of poetry 👇:

• The paradelle is a 4 stanza poem.

• Each stanza consists of 6 lines.

• For the first 3 stanzas, the 1^st &2^nd lines should be the same, the 3^rd &4^th lines should also be the same and the 5^th &6^th lines should be composed of all the words from the 1^st &3^rd lines.

• The final stanza should be composed of all the words in the 5^th &6^th lines of the first three stanzas and only the words from the 5^th &6^th lines of the three stanzas.

Now take a look at the Paradelle that I have tried.....👇👇

Lowered my gun to take a side turn,
Lowered my gun to take a side turn;
The bullet pierced my body,
The bullet pierced my body;
My gun lowered from my body,
The bullet turned to my side.

The noises around me dimmed,
The noises around me dimmed;
Made my nation live in peace and harmony,
Made my nation live in peace and harmony;
Made my nation live in peace and,
no external noises dimmed their harmony.

My family with other families were safe in the country,
My family with other families were safe in the country;
Closed my eyes with the great satisfaction,
Closed my eyes with the great satisfaction;
My eyes closed with the satisfaction that my family,
With other families were safe in the country .

My body lowered to the bullet,
From the gun that turned my side.
The external noises dimmed,
but my nation lives in peace.
The harmony that my family and others were safe,
Made me close my eyes with satisfaction!
