Fear the love that does not grow each day
Where stagnate buds wilt into decay
petrified petals screech vexation
and tortured roots become fixation
Clarity forms in stark concession
true love is not found in obsession
Each line in the stanza is nine syllables long.
The stanza has an even number of lines.
Each line in the stanza end rhymes with another line (any line) in the stanza.
The stanza lengths in a cyhydedd naw ban can actually vary within each poem–just as long as the above requirements are met within each stanza.

Welsh Poetry Forms
I had trouble concentrating on the words for some reason. Anyway, it was excellent (I think).

What a grand rule–it can rhyme with any other line in the stanza. Fun. And you’ve done it well.

Thank you. I like that you can have 10 line, 4 line, 6 line stazas all mixed together in one poem and as long as they rhyme with another line you can go crazy.

Grabbed my attention with the Grabby photo 🤣. Once again your Word Play was deep! So few words to get such a strong message across. Nicely done.

Thank you. The form didn’t allow much wiggle room, I had to be concise. I’ll be back to my nonsense soon enough 👍

Similar topic, different approach. You had far more passion, made mine sound matter of fact. Quite the coincidence we are in sync. How far ahead are you with posts at the moment? I’m doing valentines week. 🤔💚

A more flexible form from the Welsh. I guess someone was phoning it in the day they created this one 😂

Thank you. A few left. I found about 15 forms and selected 7 I thought I could manage.
The response has been great. Maybe I’ll do another week of Welsh poetry forms later this year 👍

I’m trying Japanese forms at the moment, but you’ve inspired to have a go at Welsh forms.

I went through Japanese forms in November I think. There are plenty of those so I’ll be revisiting them later this year as well.
I have Irish forms next week, maybe you might find something there as well 😉
Good luck with the Welsh 👍
