A lyric searing in my throat,
Try as I may to carve a note,
To chisel music out of stone,
My fingertips are broken bone.
*
My soul is trailing eighty eight,
Masters of treason who dictate,
The puppet show as they intone.
My fingertips are broken bone.
*
Keys to a world, padlocked and sealed.
Arias roam about , concealed.
Haunting daymares my rout bemoan.
My fingertips are broken bone.

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines)
Each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza).
Each line within the poem consists of only (eight syllables).
There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.
Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.
