A warrior angel, all alone.
Her mighty wings are all she owns.
Fighting a war that never ends.
One wing bleeds, the other defends, her noble throne.
*
Her strength can conquer anything
A heart like gold, courage wellspring
When she dares the impossible
Her strong will is unbreakable, fit for a king.
*
Heaven above, let me be near
Her sublime soul and slay the fear
Of losing my heart's remedy
My one and only melody, I live to hear.
***
(The Florette), created by (Jan Turner), consists of two or more 4-line stanzas.
-Rhyme scheme: a,a,b,a
-Meter: 8,8,8,12
-Fourth line requirement of internal (b) rhyme scheme, on syllable 8.
Like the outgrowing of a small flower, the fourth line of each stanza is longer, and enwraps the previous lines.
*Line #4 requires an internal rhyme scheme that rhymes the eighth syllable with the end of line #3, and continues to add on four more syllables than the other lines so that the fourth line ends rhyming with lines #1 and #2.
